If they want people to learn latin, they should not charge insane amounts.
And why on earth would you need a teacher? And for Book I of that already stupid Cambridge latin course. I mean, for 300 pretty glossy pages they don’t even mention the ablative!
Some organisation should give free, productive services if people are to learn latin. Yes I know that this is unreal, but what about all the money wasted on stupid reading programmes for crazy kids?
They suck money making scheming losers.
Not that I care, I have my D’Ooge; but their greed defeats the whole objective of the site for me. Unless they be assuming that every latin scholar has no pecuniary problems.
I agree. There are many people who would find value in this. As for the Cambridge course itself, I really like it for supplemental and recreational reading. It’s a fantastic beginner reader.
I am just saying that there are better ways. What about the children who don’t have hundreds of pounds to learn half a course of something, and haven’t the confidence to do it alone? And if cambridge want people to learn latin, they should not have bothered to waste time making a website on it if they charge like that.
I also dislike those simplified courses, but I think they are what is most in demand, so it’s probably best to get used to them (though you don’t have to use one!).
What if I want to attend Oxford or Princeton and I don’t have the money? I’m out of luck… this is just the way it is. Not everyone can give stuff away for free or cheap.
