This volume is the completely reset Second Edition of Jeanne Marie Neumann's
A College Companion
(Focus, 2008). It offers a running exposition, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. Ørberg's
Familia Romana
, and includes the complete text of the Ørberg ancillaries
Grammatica Latina
and
Latin–English Vocabulary
. It also serves as a substitute for Ørberg's
Latine Disco
, on which it is based. As it includes no exercises, however, it is not a substitute for the Ørberg ancillary
Exercitia Latina I
. Though designed especially for those approaching
at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit layout of
's inductively-presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, the Second Edition also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.
