Rating: - Valuable tool
My homeschooled eighth-grader and I have found this book very helpful as an adjunct to Wheelock's 6th edition. Grote untangles the knotty topics of Wheelock's 6th edition, not just chapter by chapter, but virtually subtopic by subtopic. His explanations are clear, and his writing is amusing and engaging.

My only criticism is that he gives the answers to only "selected" exercises. This does seem to mean most of them--but why not all of them?

Rating: - Not that useful
I studied Latin a long time ago and picked up Wheelock's. I added this book as an impulse buy based on some feedback. I find it adds nothing at all to the information in Wheelock. A lot of the suggestions are trite and much of the content is condescending.

I can see that this book might be useful to one who lacks background in grammar in general (not specifically Latin grammar) and would benefit from context for parts of sentences. For anyone with a high school or higher education, it's ... Read More

Rating: - You need it!
I started with Wheelock on its own; great book, but something was missing: Grote's book!

Grote's book does that. You still have to memorize but knowing all the why's lets the how's stick.

Furthermore, if you are weak in ... Read More

Rating: - a Latin 'teacher' who holds your hand
This is a very helpful adjunct to studying Wheelock's Latin solo. Although I have 45 years experience studying foreign languages [at least 10, including 4 different alphabets] and have tutored Latin successfully for years, Grote still provides helpful hints for studying and digesting the Latin grammar and vocabulary. So, if I find this helpful, I expect someone new to Latin would find this book invaluable!

Rating: - Let There Be Light
I've been trying to teach myself Latin off and on for years and I purchased the Wheelock book and workbook recently at the suggestion of my brother, a scholar of Latin and Greek. The books are awesome and well written but I often found myself in the dark about grammar and declensions etc. I've always asssumed it's because I'm a bit of a dullard. Dullard I may be but Grote's book shed light on things that were really vexing to me. Grote explains in a few sentences why I've had so much trouble looking up ... Read More
