Jenney's First Year Latin help

[Amy M]

I have a 1990 Prentice Hall textbook of Jenney's First Year Latin. Can I use it by itself? I see I can buy a workbook as well from Pearson, but I would need answer guides, as I don't know Latin well. Should I just get rid of it and try a different Latin?

 

This would be for in a few years. I'm guessing this is a high school textbook? We have MP's Latina Christiana 1 to do first. Would this book repeat much of that, or would it make Jenney's easier to do if we did MP's LC1 first?

 

Bottom line: I'm not sure if I should try to use it or just get rid of it and try something else. Thanks for your help.

If you don't know Latin well, I would just find something newer that is intended for homeschool use...something that comes with answers and teaching guides. I purchased that same textbook because my ds was using it at the public high school. I tried to find corresponding materials but didn't have any luck.

We've used the Memoria Press First, Second, and Third Form books, which we really enjoy - and have added Henle as well. All of these come with great support materials.

We have also used Memoria Press : Latina Christiana 1 and 2, First and 2nd Form, Henle with the Memoria study guides.  We also used BJ Press Latin for a year. It is not organized well. They have fantastic math, but I do not recommend their Latin.

 

Memoria products are well organized, logical, it comes with tests and quizzes.... You can even get videos to help you teach. For us, it was a very  good fit.
