3littlekeets Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 We did Prima Latina years ago, then dropped it for a ridiculous reason...and I'm kicking myself. DS really wants to start again now. He's 11, and a very advanced reader. But, he enjoys having fun, and liked the video component of PL. He indicated he would like a program with a video -- not just more "book" work though he is good with books. He just wants Latin that is more accessible and fun. I'm just worried LFC might be too babyish, kwim? Though, he still loves the Wimpy Kid books, etc. I'm fine switching from ecclesiastical pronunciation and prayers. Thanks!

Jilly Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I just started Latin for Children with my 10 year old twins. They love it and do not find it too young. It does have some goofy elements though (I'm thinking of the segment How the West was Unus), but they love this goofiness, and it makes them quite excited about watching the lessons.

LanaTron Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Not too babyish at all, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karenciavo Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Latin For Children as a curriculum is not babyish, the video can be goofy. My boys, at the time 12 and 10, would sometimes shake their heads, but overall enjoyed LFC and did well with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulip1969 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My 13 year old thinks it is goofy, but he likes the pace and has learned every lesson well. He and his 10 year old brother go to work on it with minimal reminders from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
