| Workbook for Wheelock's Latin by Collins You don't need this if you have the 6th edition... |
| This is a good workbook, but if you have "Wheelock's 6th edition, revised", you don't need this. Most of the exercises here are repetitions of the "Optional Self-Tutorial Exercises" in the back of the main book. Sometimes they repeat the *exact* same sentence to be translated! I felt a little deceived. But, I got the answer key easily, despite some complains about it here. They sent me the key in the same day. |
| Workbook for Wheelock's Latin by Collins Everything a teacher might want. |
| The text and this workbook are excellent. You need a live teacher to be successful with this study. The teacher will appreciate this workbook only with thee text it is to accompany. This text and workbook are slightly on the AP side of difficulty but still great for the formative Latin student. |
| Workbook for Wheelock's Latin by Collins Well worth it |
| Wheelock's Latin is the standard textbook for many beginning latin classes. My son is in 3rd year latin at High School, and the book has been extremely helpful to have at home. I would recommend buying both the textbook and the vocabulary card book at the same time, as it is less expensive that way and very helpful. |
| Workbook for Wheelock's Latin by Collins Great addition to the Wheelock text. |
| This workbook is a very helpful addition to the Wheelock Latin text. It provides a number of helpful exercises for you to practice what you've learned in the text. It's a must have for the self-learner. The only drawback is that you have to contact the publisher to get a copy of the answer key. It's not terribly difficult. It's just an added step. |
| Workbook for Wheelock's Latin by Collins Invaluable Supplement to Wheelock's Classic Text |
For the independent learner, like myself, the workbook is an excellent supplementary learning tool to Wheelock's text. Though the text itself does a great job of explaining all of the concepts, it doesn't have enough exercises for the independent learner to really grasp the material. That's where this book comes in. It has plenty of extra exercises and review to help you really retain the material.
Unlike some reviewers, I had no problem obtaining the answer key for this book. I simply emailed the site and explained that I was an independent learner and needed a copy of the answer key and they responded within a day with an access code to both the workbook and the main text, which provides translations for the practice and review and sententiae antiquae contained in there.
Overall, a solid companion to Wheelock's seminal Latin text. I give it 4 stars only because the whole process of obtaining the answer key is a bit cumbersome and inconvenient. I believe they should begin including it with the text for easier use. |
| Workbook for Wheelock's Latin by Collins Product Description |
WHEELOCK'S LATIN: AUDIO FILES When Professor Frederic M. Wheelock's Latin first appeared in 1956, the reviews extolled its thoroughness, organization, and conciseness; at least one reviewer predicted that the book "might well become the standard text" for introducing students to elementary Latin. Now, five decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate. Workbook for Wheelock's Latin is an essential companion to the classic introductory textbook. Designed to supplement the course of study in Wheelock's Latin, 6th Edition, Revised, each of the forty chapters in this newly updated edition features: Transformation drills, word and phrase translations, and other exercises to test and sharpen the student's skills "Word Power" sections that focus on vocabulary and derivatives Reading comprehension questions and sentences for translation practice Perforated pages for hand-in homework assignments and space for the student's name and date |
