Ahn's First Latin Book (1879)

Ahn's First Latin Book, written by Franz Ahn and originally published in 1879, is a comprehensive guide for beginners to learn the Latin language. The book is divided into 35 lessons, each of which covers a different aspect of Latin grammar, vocabulary, and syntax. The lessons are designed to be concise and easy to understand, with clear explanations and examples provided throughout. The book begins with an introduction to the Latin alphabet and pronunciation, followed by lessons on nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs. The later lessons cover more advanced topics such as participles, infinitives, and subjunctives. The book also includes exercises and drills to reinforce the concepts learned in each lesson. One of the unique features of Ahn's First Latin Book is its emphasis on translation. Throughout the book, students are given opportunities to practice translating Latin sentences into English and vice versa. This approach helps students develop their understanding of both languages and their ability to communicate effectively in both. Overall, Ahn's First Latin Book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn Latin from scratch. Its clear and concise lessons, comprehensive coverage of grammar and vocabulary, and emphasis on translation make it a valuable tool for students and teachers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
