Actually, nostalgia aside, I am deeply ambivalent about the CLC. While I think it in many ways an excellent attempt to revamp the learning of Latin and revive it from the stuffy rote-learning methods of yore, it has (or had - they may well have changed things since my day; I'd like to think so, at least) a major flaw IMO. It does it's job at getting one to to pre-O-level Latin very well and easily, but does not, again IMO, provide a good grounding for then taking Latin beyond O-level. While I am all in favour of the learning of Latin to any level as a goal in itself, it seems unfortunate that the *Cambridge* Latin course seemed not to have the aim of encouraging students to take Latin to A-level or degrees!
