When Professor Frederic M. Wheelock's Latin first appeared in 1956, the reviews extolled its thoroughness, organization, and conciseness; at least one reviewer predicted that the book "might well become the standard text" for introducing students to elementary Latin. Now, five decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate.

Now, five decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate.
The revised sixth edition of Wheelock's Latin has all the features that have made it the best-selling single-volume beginning Latin textbook, many of them improved and expanded:
40 chapters with grammatical explanations and readings based on ancient Roman authors
Self-tutorial exercises with an answer key for independent study
A newly enlarged English-Latin/Latin-English vocabulary
A rich selection of original Latin readings -- unlike other textbooks, which contain primarily made-up Latin texts
Etymological aids
Also included are maps of the Mediterranean, Italy, and the Aegean area, as well as numerous photographs illustrating aspects of classical culture, mythology, and historical and literary figures presented in the chapter readings.

听说是最常用的初学教材,典型美帝贫嘴教材风格,乱七八糟家长里短,简直不厌其烦。相比之下连Morland & Fleischer都显得可爱一些了。

感觉比较好入手。语言专业的还是非常在乎发音标准这件事的,而市面上能找到的标准音频就是韦氏教材。录配套音频这个人类感觉是个印欧语系通啊,非常标准,读课文还很有感情,瞬间回到奥古斯丁时代…至于知乎更为推崇的Learn to read Latin,我打算有了一定基础后再去研读。
