The Fr. Henle text covers all the important concepts and provides plenty of repetitive exercises for thorough practice. There are more practice exercises than in most Latin textbooks. It is worth noting that the bulk of the translations are taken from actual Latin authors. The backbone of Henle Second Year Latin is intensive language study, including review of the first year plus new materials. Readings from Caesar's Commentaries, extensive exercises, and Latin-English vocabularies fill the volume.

Humanistic insight and linguistic training are the goals of the Henle Latin Series from Loyola Press, an integrated four-year Latin course. Time-tested and teacher endorsed, this comprehensive program is designed to lead the student systematically through the fundamentals of the language itself and on to an appreciation of selected classic texts.
