Asterix in Latin

[Jen3boys]

Has anyone read any of the Asterix books in Latin? Are they worth buying? I see some on Amazon for $39 each....that's a lot for one book.

Our old Latin tutor had one. Ds was not interested, though. Sigh! He loved all the Asterix books in English. I would have a hard time spending $39 on it myself...

We've been at Latin for two years and the girls love Asterix in English, so I bought one (although I sure didn't pay $39 for it!) It's almost completely incomprehensible to us. . . maybe it's more colloquial or something. Our book even came with a vocabulary sheet.

Ok, thanks for the input! I don't think we'll try the Latin version.

[Peela]

yeah, not for beginners, that' s for sure.

My teen is a fifth year Latin student. She enjoyed reading Asterix in Latin. They are not for the novice student though!
