All my pupils thoroughly enjoy reading this book and they learn very quickly from it too as because of its easy to read conversation-style boxes, along side with a few major nouns by the side. At the very beginning of the book, it introduces the basic pronouns which are simple but very useful words to know where-as some books miss out these important and basic words and the pupils start to struggle as they learn to make sentences. Later on in the book, it starts getting more and more advanced and it teaches verbs, adjectives, nouns, accents and masculine and feminine words. It is very important to know masculine and feminine words, like French, because there are different words for masculine and feminine, it also presents a pattern with the words so my pupils can spot and tell the differences between the two. What I usually do is give them small cards with adjectives and nouns which the book shows and they have to match the masculine and feminine words together and also translate them into English. I ask my pupils to say a word in Latin in either masculine or feminine, then I would usually ask them to make it a proper sentence, (including the extra words which make the sentence grammatically correct)so it just shows that there are so many other things you can do with this book, other than reading it. My pupils usually find some other languages boring even when I teach them, at we go at a very slow progress but with this book, they can understand things so much easier and they find it so much more fun. We are now beginning to finish this book so I may have to start talking to them in Latin! Review: A really good introduction to Latin - A really good introduction to Latin, not the easiest of subjects but made very accessible by this wonderful book, also gives context with a bit of detail re roman life and vindolanda, entertaining and yes designed for children but i found other books a bit dry where this was entertaining and educational, inspired us to visit vindolanda which was fascinating. Latin grammar was no longer some enigmabut understandable, this said there is a follow up book which is more in depth as goes up a level, all in all if you or your child isinterested in latin i would definately reccommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0521659604 | | Best Sellers Rank | 56,675 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 398 in Language Training by Language 1,741 in Primary School Textbooks 1,924 in School Education & Teaching | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (327) | | Dimensions | 19.05 x 0.64 x 26.67 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 7 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 9780521659604 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0521659604 | | Item weight | 227 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 79 pages | | Publication date | 2 Sept. 1999 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | | Reading age | 7 - 11 years | ## Images ![Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting out in Latin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RYweQym0L.jpg) ![Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting out in Latin - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cCVjyNREL.jpg) ![Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting out in Latin - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fUeB8fj2L.jpg) ![Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting out in Latin - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71745TZSN5L.jpg) ![Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting out in Latin - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31UFkSzqmFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic book! *by P***Y on 18 May 2013* I certainly do not regret buying this book at all, it was a major success.

We are now beginning to finish this book so I may have to start talking to them in Latin! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really good introduction to Latin *by N***E on 7 August 2014* A really good introduction to Latin, not the easiest of subjects but made very accessible by this wonderful book, also gives context with a bit of detail re roman life and vindolanda, entertaining and yes designed for children but i found other books a bit dry where this was entertaining and educational, inspired us to visit vindolanda which was fascinating. Latin grammar was no longer some enigmabut understandable, this said there is a follow up book which is more in depth as goes up a level, all in all if you or your child isinterested in latin i would definately reccommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mini - something, anyway *by A***E on 23 June 2011* I bought this book to teach my sons Latin, to expose them to the learning, the joy of knowledge, the self-discipline, and the sheer pleasure of puzzle-solving that the English state school system is depriving kids of today. I have to admit it is not bad, especially for introducing the very young to Latin, and begins with some lessons having to do with things that will interest children and to which they can relate. The words are ones that children have a good general knowledge of in the English language by primary school, and the interest in history, especially Roman Britain, is maintained by the use of texts originating in Briatinnia and relating to its culture and people. Colour drawings and maps accompany lessons as well as historical tidbits and photographs of artefacts. It is hoped that students who learn Latin will develop a real pleasure in picking out words in a text, and being able to translate them into eloquent English by employing what they have taught themselves in vocabulary, grammar and nuances. I did not expect it to appear so abstract where language learning, especially entirely literary languages like Latin, needs to have a very solid framework so that translations can be worked out and understood beyond a shadow of a doubt in the student's mind. If this is your only learning resource, be warned that the explanations are not systematic, necessitating review of material learned often for consolidation. Without the teacher's resource book, very expensive and meant to accompany this programme, it would be very difficult for students to develop a clear and solid basis in Latin grammar and syntax. The course is well-thought-out for younger students, and comprises short, easy-to-follow lessons that make an appreciable attempt to hold the student's interest whilst covering the basic framework by which Latin can be learned and enjoyed. For it size it is quite expensive, but worth the price. In comparison to everything else out there currently, this is perhaps the best of that group. I would recommend, even if your student has a tutor or learns this in school, the purchase of the very expensive Teacher's Resource Book as it will provide a good support for student, teacher, and parent helping with homework. ## Frequently Bought Together - Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting out in Latin - Minimus Secundus Pupil's Book: Moving on in Latin - Minimus Teacher's Resource Book: Starting out in Latin --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/56561439-minimus-pupils-book-starting-out-in-latin](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/56561439-minimus-pupils-book-starting-out-in-latin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
