Earn-lay atin-Lay? No, not that kind of Latin! You can learn true Latin, with conjugations, declensions, and all those extra syllables -- and its easier than you think. In fact, most people mistakenly think of learning Latin as perhaps the most useless, tedious, and difficult thing to do on earth. They couldnt be more wrong.
Latin For Dummies takes you back for a quick jaunt through the parlance of ancient Rome, as well as discussing the progress of Latin into church language, and its status today as the dead language that lives on in English, Spanish, Italian, and most other Western tongues. Written for those with zero prior knowledge of Latin, this snappy guide puts the basics at your fingertips and steers clear of the arcane, schoolmarm stereotype of endless declensions and Herculean translations. Easy-to-understand sections describe:

Clifford A. Hull has been a Latin teacher for more than 23 years. He received a bachelor of arts degree, BA (Honours)(Latin) degree, and an HED (Higher Education Diploma) from the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa). He taught Latin and Classical Culture in South Africa at the high school and university levels for ten years. He came to the United States of America where he received an MA in Classical Studies, an MA in Classical Archaeology, and an MLS in Library and Information Science from Indiana University. Over the past 13 years he has taught Latin, Greek, Medical Terms, and Classical Mythology at both the high school and college levels. At the present time, he teaches Latin and Classical Greek at Park Tudor School in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Classical Mythology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. His main interests are Latin grammar, epigraphy, Roman architecture, especially Roman houses and buildings, archaeology, and Morris Minor cars.
Steven R. Perkins is an award-winning Classics instructor who has published numerous articles on Latin pedagogy. A member of Phi Beta Kappa and a former Texas Latin Teacher of the Year, he has taught Latin from the middle school through university levels. (To be honest, I hate this self-praise business, though I know it is helpful to add credibility for the book. Just to back up a bit of what I just said, I was awarded for excellence in Classics from Indiana University, was recognized for outstanding Classics instruction at the University of Texas, was twice recognized by the Austin Texas school board, was twice listed in Whos Who Among Americas High School Teachers, and was awarded the silver chalice from Classics Technology on the Web for an article based on a conference presentation.)
Tracy Barr has been a part of the Dummies phenomenon for almost a decade. In that time, she has served as editor, editorial manager, writer, and consultant to the folks who write and edit For Dummies books. Most recently, she helped write World War II For Dummies with Keith D. Dickson and Vocabulary For Dummies with Laurie Rozakis. She lives and works in Indianapolis.
Clifford A. Hull: Many thanks to all the people at Wiley for making this book possible, especially to Tracy Barr, whose help was invaluable. Thanks also to Esmeralda St. Clair for her help and input. Thanks to my co-author, Steve Perkins, and to his wife, Melissa. I would like to give special recognition and much appreciation to my wife, Lynn Thomsen, and my son, Clifford P. Hull, for all the time, help, patience, encouragement, love, and support they gave me. I could not have done this without them. Lastly, I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of my father, Stanley Clifford Hull. I love you, Dad.
Steven R. Perkins: I would like to thank my wife and Latin colleague, Melissa, for her loving support and critique throughout this project. Ad exemplum tu mihi semper ades. Thank you, too, Austin, for helping Daddy type his manuscript.
Tracy Barr: I would like to thank the following people: Steve Perkins and Clifford Hull, who made the writing a joy; Roxane Cerda, who made my participation in the project possible, and Tim Gallan and Esmeralda St. Clair, who made the editing (relatively) painless. I would also like to thank Larry, Adam, Sarah, Mary, and Alex for sundry reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with writing or Latin.
