About the book

A Practical Grammar of the Latin Language by George J. Adler is a systematic and learner-centered guide designed to lead students from the fundamentals of Latin to confident reading and composition. The book presents grammar in a clear, progressive sequence, beginning with the essentials of pronunciation, inflection, and syntax, and steadily advancing toward more complex structures. Adler emphasizes clarity and order, ensuring that each new concept builds directly on what has already been mastered, making the work especially accessible to both self-learners and classroom students.

What distinguishes Adler’s approach is its strong focus on active use of the language. Rather than treating Latin as a purely theoretical subject, the grammar integrates carefully graded exercises, translation practice, and examples drawn from classical sources. This method trains the learner not only to recognize forms but to think in Latin, reinforcing grammatical principles through repeated application. The result is a practical foundation that supports accurate reading, writing, and long-term retention of the language.
