Enhanced with color artwork and comprehensive revision materials, it equips students for exam success and lays a solid foundation for advanced Latin studies. ## Description A companion to Bloomsbury’s popular two-volume Greek to GCSE, this is the first course for Latin students that directly reflects the curriculum in a clear, concise and accessible way. Enhanced by colour artwork and text features, the books support the new OCR specification for Latin (first teaching 2016) as well as meeting the needs of later students, both at university and beyond. Written by two experienced school teachers, one also an examiner, the course is based on a keen understanding of what pupils find difficult, concentrating on the essentials and on the explanation of principles in both accidence and syntax: minor irregularities are postponed and subordinated so that the need for rote learning is reduced. User-friendly, it also gives pupils a firm foundation for further study. Part 1 covers the basics, whilst Part 2 introduces a wider range of grammatical forms and constructions, with a vocabulary of 450 words and reading material about the developing Republic, the war with Hannibal, the rise of Julius Caesar, and Augustus and the early emperors. Practice passages and revision sentences for GCSE complete Part 2, which has a reference section covering the whole course. Review: Libro - Libro ottimo per studenti Review: Great book with a lot of reading practice - This is a great book. The grammar explanations are simple and clear. The 60 or so reading passages alone make this book worth buying. Latin readings include stories from the Republic, Hannibal, Caesar in Gaul, and the Roman Empire until its end. There are addition reading passages in the GCSE test practice sections at the end. Of course, you don't have to care about the British GCSE test to benefit from this book. ## Features - Bloomsbury Academic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,248 in Language Learning & Teaching #92,640 in Exam Preparation (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 159 Reviews | ## Images ![Latin to GCSE Part 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-23RlySmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Libro *by A***E on 26 January 2025* Libro ottimo per studenti ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book with a lot of reading practice *by L***R on 12 July 2017* This is a great book.

Most courses (Cambridge Latin course, Oxford Latin Course) are now woefully out of date, with far too much in them that is surplus to requirements.You might argue that education should not just be about passing exams, and I agree with you - up to a point. I am a teacher of mixed ability students, who has to fight for every hour of curriculum time given to Latin. I wish I had the luxury of time to teach extra things; and also students who do not panic every time there's a new vocab list to learn. Keeping the course book to exactly what the GCSE requires gives me a much better chance of preparing my students to do well in the exam, and that is what my parents and my head require of me. I will be using this book in September with my first year GCSE students (Y10), and we should have finished it by Easter. This leaves us time to focus on the literature (not covered by this book as the texts change every two years) and to hone their translation and comprehension skills. There are 5 practice GCSE-style papers in the book, all adapted from actual GCSE past papers; and I shall continue to use Latin Stories (by the same authors) to give further practice. Latin Stories: A GCSE Reader My only criticism is that some of the translation passages given in the book could have had comprehension questions added, as there is no comprehension practice in either book, apart from the 5 practice papers. Apart from that, this is the perfect Latin course for the modern age! ## Frequently Bought Together - Latin to GCSE Part 2 - Latin to GCSE Part 1 - Latin Beyond GCSE --- ## 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.be/products/740779423-latin-to-gcse-part-2](https://www.desertcart.be/products/740779423-latin-to-gcse-part-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
