A Note From Grote (the author)
I get many requests
from visitors to this site for more
information
about these old notes and about other resources for Latin. Here's some
information that answers questions frequently posed.
-
These notes are really old, dating back to at least 1991,
when I first posted them to an FTP site for other Latin teachers to inspect
and to use as they saw fit. You'll find a couple of mistakes here and there,
and you'll notice that there are no chapters 36-40. Also, there are some
exercises in the guides that aren't answered on the Net. Finally, the notes
were meant to accompany Wheelock's 4th edition. Wheelock is now in the
6th edition, so there will be some misfits here and there.
-
There is a second edition of my guide, substantially revised
and
updated for the 6th edition of Wheelock, available in print form at
Bolchazy-Carducci: A
Comprehensive Guide to
Wheelock.

I also have some materials, including audio files, that you
may
find helpful at http://www.uncc.edu/classics/W

If you're home schooling and would like to get your hands
on more materials, Rick LaFleur has written a book you'll find very useful:
Latin for the 21st Century: ISBN 0-673-57608-6. Now available from
Prentice Hall-Scott Foresman Publishers, Glenview IL: to order, call
1-800-552-2259
or fax 1-800-333-3328. It's about $25.00.
There. Even if I've answered your questions, I'd still like
to hear from you. It gives me great pleasure to hear from people who are
using these old notes. Please write a quick note--even if it's just to
say "Hey."
Thanks!
