Latin for the New Millennium Level 3 Available

Latin for the New Millennium Level 3 has arrived!!!

LNM Level 3 builds on the strong foundation of Levels 1 and 2 and provides students an in-depth experience of Caesar, Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Ovid, and Vergil as well as Erasmus, the “Cicero” of the Renaissance, and other post-antique Latin authors.

Have your students been using a Latin series other than Latin for the New Millennium?

Even if they haven’t used Latin for the New Millennium, Levels 1 and 2, consider having them use Latin for the New Millennium Level 3! The transition will be smooth. Each chapter in level 3 covers a different classical author and starts with readings that are accompanied by transitional aids. All the readings have pre-reading exercises, complete vocabulary, and notes designed for reading comprehension. Language facts based on the readings provide grammar review, which all students need, and third year grammar topics as well. By the end of a chapter, students face unadapted text with fewer reading aids, but by the time they reach this point, they are ready.
