Latin Grammar (Quick Study Academic)

I bought this Latin Grammar Reference Guide to refresh my memory forgeneral Latin usage.It is quite basic, does what it sets out to do, but four pages with a verysmall type face does little for my older eyes. Even when wearing my newreading glasses, I find that the addition of a magnifying glass is requiredto read some of the text.I agree with other reviewers about declensions, they are presented as perthe USA rather than in the way I was taught at school in the UK.It could have proved more useful had the US manufacturers, Quickstudy.com,published this pamphlet in 8 pages, rather than a mere 4, and used a largertype face. The addition of a side margin would also help those of us in UK/Europe who would need to punch holes for European ring binders, if we wereto include it in a binder. It is almost impossible to punch new holes withoutobscuring some of the wording in it's current state.The product is a great idea, but very little thought seems to have been putinto it's overall presentation.Larger print, and a side margin would have made it easily readable andaccessible for this older user.I can only give it 3 stars.

I bought this because I'm doing Latin classes and have a hopeless memory. I can never remember what certain bits of vocab are and would always find myself frantically scrabbling through my messy hand-drawn tables in class. The end result was a lot of mumbling and going red.One of my classmates had this ‘cheat sheet’ and I decided to give it a go. It’s laminated so won’t dissolve under the tears of Latin frustration when doing homework, which is nice.It’s an American paper size, not A4, so it doesn't line up perfectly in a folder, but I don't mind. The tables are quite easy to read and I think it has almost everything you’d need for class on it. It's certainly got me out of a few tight situations when picked on in class, and it speeds up homework too.I’d recommend this for anyone doing Latin, at any stage in their education, as it really does make it less intimidating. It might seem expensive for about £5, but it’s well worth it and I’d pay it all over again. It’s also better than trying to read messy homemade tables.My only criticism is an obvious one: This only has the absolutely most common words on it, which can be restrictive if you want to be lazy and use it as a dictionary. I do medieval and classical Latin and I find that this only really helps when we are reading the proper canon Latin stuff. I think it’s not as good/helpful as the grammar cheat sheet, but it’s still handy to have about.

As mentioned elsewhere, the cases are in a different order that typically presented in the UK (Nom. Gen. Dat. Acc. Abl. Voc. [2nd declension only]), but generally looks like a good summary reference to overview the language, plus lots of extra little bits of info, such as how years were named.My only real issue with the product is the fact that it came hole-punched, getting dangerously close to cutting off bits of key words in the process. Since the text is so small, an intersection with a hole removes 3 or 4 letters, but only one word has actually suffered a direct hit, and that can be worked out from context.It's even more annoying, because the hole-punching is not correct for my folder, so my choice is to cut more holes in it or have useless holes that I don't need.It was unfortunately also folded slightly through the letter box, but I haven't removed a star for that as it was the fault of Amazon, not the product.

I am a first year Classical Studies student at university and have been learning Latin from scratch. For me, this guide is brilliant, it has all the grammar we have covered in a concise and clear way. I was happy to see it had even more grammar tables than we have so far learned so I continue to reference it for the academic year to come.It is laminated, thin and easy to keep with you, even in the last minutes of panic before an exam.The only slight gripe I have with the product is that rather than being hole-punched with 2 or 4 holes to fit a standard ring binder, my copy came punched with 3 holes spaced further apart making it impossible to add to a folder. Yet this is such a minor detail it takes little away from the overall utility of the product.

The noun cases are not listed in a way commonly used in the UK. This makes learning patterns for new material clash with previously learned patterns. Incredibly tedious.

Lots of quick information at handVery usefulHowever I'm very disappointed to find it's got holes pinched into it meaning words have been cut out which is not handy at all.Maybe they should be sold without holes punched into them and leave that up to the customer to do.

A lot of detail though in an American rather than UK format. Very useful

For Kindle, this does not work. Where the actual sheets would have been arranged clearly and logically, there is no hope of recreating this on a Kindle device. Not recommended for tablet use. Useless.

A great tool! Easy to follow and read. Well laid out. Great that it's laminated as that helps protect it!

A wonderful compact guide, great as a reminder when translating!

It is well made and I like the arrangement. Good to have it for quick review.

Super helpful, everything you would need for starting, and a necessity for anyone wanting to learn.

Arrived in good shape

Parfait

It is very good and short latin grammar.

Great

Great study guide! Fast shipping and durable material

If there is a poster version that will be perfect. This one is a binder version.

これだけでは何もわかりませんが、他の本を読みながらの確認に使うには便利です。ただし、長母韻記号はありません。

This grammar guide contains helpful information for noun declensions, pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs. However, the most important section in my opinion (they are far more difficult to memorize than the other parts of speech due to the sheer number of forms), the verbs, have a serious flaw. None of the verbs show macrons, or long marks. An FYI for those just starting out in Latin, macrons are essential to the spelling of Latin words, and the presence or absence of a macron often changes the meaning of the word entirely. Most, if not all, Latin professors will consider a word misspelled if it's missing the macron. For research purposes, you'll have a rather difficult time finding the form you're looking for if you have to guess where the macrons go. As such, the entire section on verbs (more than half the guide) is all but useless.

I am currently working on learning Latin independently and purchased this chart as a complimentary aid. The chart is very useful in that includes a wealth of grammatical information in a colorful and laminated chart. Since I use the reference often the lamination preserves the chart nicely. The chart contains all the declensions for nouns and adjectives as well as all the verb conjugations. In completing exercises and translations the chart makes for a quick and easy way to check word endings and verb forms. The chart also a great deal more information that is easy to refer to as needed. The chart is only a total of 4 pages (tow of which are almost entirely devoted to verb conjugations) so it is easy to flip through as necessary and find what you need or to double check your work. The only reason I didn't rate this with 5 stars is I found the print for the verb conjugations too small to use as an easy reference. I know this is done to provide a lot of information in a confined space but I find it very hard to read. The print size of the other information is fine. I would highly recommend this for students of Latin!
