Grote		More Wheelock Help New => Online Lectures Now this is really something! Win a Free CD! Find an undiscovered typo in my famously flawed Comprehensive Guide to Wheelock's Latin (2005 corrected edition) and win a free CD of me teaching the Optional Self-Tutorial Exercises. Oh joy! Check the list of known typos before you send yours. Real Audio Files for the Optional Self-Tutorial Exercises On these files, I "talk through" the exercises in the back of the Wheelock text that are designed to test and review the material for each chapter. Students often do not even notice that these excellent drills are in the book. I can send out the files on a CD if you don't want to have to be online to do your work. Instructions are here. Grammatical Glossary Having trouble remembering the difference between a gerund and a gerundive? This list of key grammatical terminology may be just what you need. Internet Notes to Wheelock's Fourth Edition These desperately old notes go back to 1992, practically the Neolithic period in Internet terms, when I first posted them as FTP files for teachers using the Wheelock text. They go with the 4th edition of Wheelock and there are only 35 chapters. But they still might get you out of a late-night bind before a test. Of course, if you happen to be in the market for a professionally bound book with all 40 chapters, see . . . Comprehensive Guide to Wheelock (2002) The ideal gift for that person on your list who has no life. Published in 2000 by Bolchazy-Carducci, the book is an updated version of my online notes. It is current with the new sixth edition of Wheelock and contains drills and answer key (not to Wheelock, but to the drills in my book). The book was recently reprinted (Spring 2002) and now appears almost free of the plague of minor typos in the first printing. Vocabulary Lists These pages break out the essential vocabulary into five-chapter increments for your study. Latin Online I've checked out two organizations that use Wheelock for their online Latin classes. They're good people, and I fully recommend them : www.islas.org and www.schola-tutorials.com. Additional Readings This link takes you to the first of a series of graded readers that are even more ancient than Wheelock itself. I've supplemented them with additional vocabulary and notes. Make sure you look over to the left hand side for the links. The first reading, Perseus, fits in at about Chapter 20 of Wheelock. You'll be ready for the second, Hercules, after Chapter 27. The third and fourth readings, Jason and the Argonauts, and Stories from Roman History, presuppose that you've completed all forty chapters of Wheelock.
