Table of Contents

Here are the levels or sections to the LGR ebook. The first several are named after a status or trade in Roman society, army, and government. This is the title you will receive when you pass your oral exam at that level as a student. The other sections, beginning with the irregular verb forms, are named after famous Roman authors. When you pass your oral exam at each author level, you will receive that title to signify your beginning apprenticeship of that author.
As a student, you will be called by the title alone, as a teacher and examiner, you will be the title plus your designation. Exempli gratia (for the sake of example), when you finish the first level, you will be an Infantulus. As a teacher of the first level, you will be an Infantulus Teacher, as an examiner, you will an Infantulus Examiner.

My children like the status/trade/professional level names and the student, teacher, and examiner designations, but the levels named after authors bother me. It makes me feel as though I must find examples for that level from that author exclusively, which is frequently not possible because an author's style may not lend itself to clear illustrations of the principle in question. I have more example to add, so I'll keep thinking about it. Or, maybe I'll cut the gordian knot by just not putting in any examples, at least in this version anyway. We'll see. What do you think?

This present version is designed for an ebook. The words "forms" and "syntax" are repeated in every title because every ebook reader seems to have a different (and often difficult to navigate) index and I don't want the reader to lose their place.
