Jen500 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Has anyone read any of the Asterix books in Latin? Are they worth buying? I see some on Amazon for $39 each....that's a lot for one book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Our old Latin tutor had one. Ds was not interested, though. Sigh! He loved all the Asterix books in English. I would have a hard time spending $39 on it myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in MA Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We've been at Latin for two years and the girls love Asterix in English, so I bought one (although I sure didn't pay $39 for it!) It's almost completely incomprehensible to us. . . maybe it's more colloquial or something. Our book even came with a vocabulary sheet.

Jen500 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ok, thanks for the input! I don't think we'll try the Latin version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 My teen is a fifth year Latin student. She enjoyed reading Asterix in Latin. They are not for the novice student though! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
