Learn Latin presents in handy book form the brilliant QED series of teach-yourself Latin articles which have captivated thousands of readers of the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph.

If you have ever wanted to know what lies at the heart of languages like French, Spanish and Italian, today spoken by 600 million people all over the world, or if you have ever been fascinated by the workings of language and the richness and precision of English (half of which is Latin), Learn Latin will prove a rich source of enlightenment and pleasure.Product Identifiers
