Langenscheidt Kurzgrammatik Latein
Langenscheidt Kurzgrammatik Latein is Langenscheidt’s compact Latin grammar: the complete rule system of the classical language in one slim volume — declensions, conjugations and syntax stated plainly, exemplified from real Latin, and organised for fast consultation.
Latin is learned differently from living languages: there is no conversation to absorb it from, only texts, examinations and the grammar that unlocks both. A compact grammar is therefore not a supplement to Latin study; it is close to its centre — the reference a student consults daily for years.
It is made for school and university students of Latin in the German-speaking world, candidates for the Latinum, and self-studiers and classicists who want the whole system of Latin grammar within arm’s reach.
Latin grammar is a closed, perfect system — five declensions, four conjugations, a syntax of beautiful regularity — and its difficulty is not mystery but volume: hundreds of forms that must be recognised instantly in a text and produced accurately in an examination. A Kurzgrammatik answers that difficulty with compression and clarity: every paradigm set out in full, every rule stated without decoration, the exceptions — which in Latin are themselves systematic — given their proper place. The consultation design matters as much as the content: a student mid-translation, stuck on an ablative, needs the rule in seconds, and this book is organised for exactly that gesture, as it has been for generations of the publisher’s Latin learners. Read steadily, it doubles as a revision course for the Latinum and university examinations: the whole grammar, reviewable in days rather than months, exposing precisely which declension or construction still wobbles. Langenscheidt’s school tradition stands behind the selection; Latin’s system does not change, and a compact grammar bought for school serves through university and beyond.

About This Book
This is Langenscheidt’s short grammar of Latin: the classical language’s complete rule system in one compact volume — nominal and verbal paradigms in full, syntax explained with examples, and an organisation built for the daily consultation Latin study demands.
What Learners Will Gain
The Paradigms, Complete
All five declensions and four conjugations with their irregulars, pronouns, adjectives and comparison — the form-system of Latin set out whole, so any form met in a text can be identified and any form needed can be produced.
Syntax That Unlocks Texts
Case usage, the accusative-with-infinitive, ablative absolute, gerund and gerundive, sequence of tenses and the subjunctive’s many employments — the constructions that stand between a student and Caesar, Cicero and Ovid.
A Reference for the Whole Course of Study
Latin is studied for years, and the same grammar serves the first declension lesson and the final Latinum revision: one volume, bought once, consulted throughout.
Key Features
Compression without loss is the feature: the entire system in one slim book. Completeness of paradigms is the second — nothing a text can throw up is missing — and Langenscheidt’s school-tested clarity the third.
Who This Book Is For
It is for school pupils learning Latin, university students and Latinum candidates, theology, history and classics students who read Latin sources, and teachers wanting a compact class reference.
How to Use This Book
Consult it at the exact moment of failure: every unidentified form in a translation, traced to its paradigm the same day, is a form learned for good. For revision, cycle the paradigms aloud and in writing until production is automatic, then work the syntax chapters against real texts. Keep a personal list of the constructions you misread — in Latin, that honest list, emptied chapter by chapter, is the road to the examination.
