lactansdea Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hello hive.... We are starting Latin this year, with my 11 and 15 year olds. I was going to go with Visual Latin because I do like the hands off approach! However, I do prefer classical pronunciation. Is there something I could teach daily in 5-10 minutes at morning time that would be a good intro to Latin for two absolute beginners? (I took Latin in highschool and have a facility for languages, but I'd rather have something that is more open and go....without too much self teaching.) Is this a unicorn or is there anything that would fit? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleynne Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 You should have a look at Latin Alive! by Classical Academic Press: https://classicalacademicpress.com/series/latin-alive/ It uses classical pronunciation and can be done very independently. If you poke around the "support" section of each set you can find a comparison to Wheelock and there are comparisons with Memoria Press' products and Henle in the FAQs. There are 3 levels and an advanced reader that functions as a fourth year of study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aikendrum Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Look into Canon Press's Latin programs. I think the correct one for the level you're talking about is Kraken Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
