I hate to admit but I have a bit of a love affair with my Latin: An Intensive Course by Moreland and Fleischer.

After some review I always seem to return to this book to refresh my basic knowledge of Latin. There are obviously many options available, both free and for purchase. In deciding on this text I considered two main points.

Firstly, as my goal is to get back to reading original Latin and as I have already gone through a few years of study and at one time was reading original texts, I am not as concerned with text that insists on original texts or a review Latin literature. Rather, I am chiefly interested in a book that accommodates speed and a rapid review of grammar and syntax.

Secondly, I have time and previous knowledge of Latin so an intensive approach, and one that includes difficult concepts and review throughout, seems appropriate.

Additionally, since the book is intended for a course that can be complete in ten weeks -- 4-6 weeks for the book and an additional 4 of primary text -- I typically adopt a similarly aggressive time line.
