The leading Latin course Worldwide, with over 3.000,000 books sold, the Cambridge Latin course is by far the most successful Latin Course available and is used by over 70% of schools, which offer Latin.

Develops a fascination for Latin and Roman culture. Gradually builds students' knowledge of language. Supports learning across the curriculum. Full online support. Teaching advice and Inset. There are five student's booklets with clear layout of stories and language notes, glossaries for quick reference and comprehension questions.
The way this course works:
'Units' have been replaced by 'books' and if you are aware of the integrated editions of these, I have drawn a table of their equivalent, in the latest (4th) editions. Both editions are are currently available. Below that, you will see the full list of CLC's for ordering purposes.
4th edition; Book no. |
Book/Unit |
Integrated (3rd)edition; Unit no: |
Book 1 Teacher's also available Worksheets available |
No change, the new edition is paginated so that it can be used in conjuction with the old one, though, of course, 'book' 1 is in colour and Unit I isn't |
Unit I |
Book 2 Teacher's also available Worksheets available |
The new edition is exceptional value, as it includes both the old units IIa and IIb a saving of 3.05 and it's in colour too |
Unit IIa Unit IIb |
Book 3 Teacher's also available |
Bit of a let-down, price-wise, after the value of book 2, the 4th edition is the equivalent of unit IIIa, only. If you wish to progress to the old unit IIIb, it's now called 'book 4': |
Unit IIIa |
Book 4 |
Book 4 constitutes the old IIIb |
Unit IIIb |
Book 5 |
Book 5 is the old IVa |
Unit IVa |
Forthcoming |
Only the Integrated unit is available at the time of writing |
Unit IVb |
Cambridge Latin Course
Assuming that most of you will want the new
(4th) edition, where it exists, I have only included that edition, which currently
goes up to book 5 (which is equivalent to the the old unit 4A) For the later stage (4B);
this is included as the 3rd editions, pending the 4th edition being available. If you
still use the integrated units please e-mail us or they can be found by searching our database ![]()
