This CD is meant to go with a full Latin course using additional items: a DVD course, a teacher's book with a run-down of what the teacher says on the DVD, answers, and views of the student's book pages, and student text/workbook. The program is very clearly outlined and set up. It is an excellent course. I found the teacher on the DVD actually talked fairly slowly and was very easy to follow for the brand new Latin student. Combined with the whole program this CD is an excellent resource for beginning Latin!
