Who says Latin is a dead language? Latin for All Occasions and Latin for Even More Occasions have helped scores of readers harness the language of Caesar and Cicero to turn ordinary remarks into timeless utterances. Impress your boss with Lingua Latina Occupationi (Occupational Latin); flirt with your classics professor with Lingua Latina Libidinosa (Sensual Latin); look like the hipster you are with Lingua Latina Popularis (Pop-Cultural Latin); survive holidays with the family with Lingua Latina Domestica (Familial Latin) and Lingua Latina Festiva (Celebrational Latin). Here are hundreds of useful expressions rendered into grammatically accurate classical Latin— with a foolproof pronunciation guide—all in one handy volume. Whether you are a student of the language or just want to talk like one, Latin for All Occasions is guaranteed to help you delight your friends (wittily), insult your enemies (fearlessly) and elevate the public discourse.
