Latin Key Words: Learn Latin Easily: 2,000-word Vocabulary Arranged by Frequency in a Hundred Units, with Comprehensive Latin and English Indexes Paperback – October 17, 2013

Really a great resource for those studying Latin. I would highly recommend this book if you are a serious student or an average person interested in languages.

These books are absolutely fantastic! I have one for German, French, Latin, and Classic Greek and I can honestly say that they are truly invaluable for all those who are serious about learning the language. Yes, there are some occasional errors that someone should have picked up on (a few words here and there that aren't translated as properly as they could be), but I challenge anyone to find a book--not to mention one this affordable--that will lay out the most common words (in order of frequency), fantastically and logically organized into sections of around 20 per section--thus setting the stage to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in the least amount of time--that can even come close to these. Again, a must for all those serious about language (and not so serious as well).

This book provides a list of the most common two thousand words in Classical Latin. As such, it is a most welcome addition to the corpus of Latin learning materials. I am presently making a set of flashcards using Dr Toner's list. I have found that the book's format could be improved. For example, the entry for 'pax' reads:pax f. peaceThe following format might be more useful to the learner:paxpax, pacis (3f.) peace

Close to described. Though should have read a little more as was available ... harder than I thought it would be.

‘Key Words’ is a vocabulary book.It provides information about what part of speech a Latin word is, e.g., noun, adjective, etc., but not for all the words listed.The book doesn’t contain instructions regarding verb conjugation, pronunciation and grammar.It has two indexes, English and Latin, to locate a particular word within the book.I would not recommend this book for beginners. It’s more of a reference book for those who are already somewhat familiar with the language. (140 pages)

Easy to use

This is an excellent book. Long troubled in how to expand my Latin vocabulary, and exposed to frequency based lists in Biblical Greek and Hebrew, I was delighted to find this volume. It goes a long way to aiding the Latin student in expanding their vocabulary.There are a few problems with this book. A few of the glosses are just a little too basic, particularly on words with several distinct meanings. There are also a number of typographical errors in the book, and genitive endings are not given for words.Overall though, an excellent book.

I find this much easier than a standard Latin dictionary for quick reference.
