SereneHome Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 My oldest would like to learn Latin. I was actually very happy to hear that, bc I do want all the kids to learn it, just never got around to researching I would love to hear suggestions and recommendations. I would like to have a curriculum that has a teacher's guide and a workbook and HUGE bonus if it has a CD or app for pronunciation of the words Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicJen Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 First Form Latin is one that I've successfully used that comes with a separate teacher's guide and a pronunciation CD. I've also heard good things about The Latin Road to English Grammar as a Latin program, not for actual English grammar study. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Your oldest is 9? We're using Getting Started With Latin. It has an audio component online, but the single book is really enough to not need a workbook or separate teacher's manual. All you need is a notebook to write the translations in, and we make flashcards for the daily new word. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_Bear Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 My son is using LFC A which can be done on your own with the DVD instruction. There are samples on the website. He is enjoying it a lot especially Headventureland which is their practice/game/activity website you can subscribe for $20/year. It makes practicing Latin a lot of fun for him. https://classicalacademicpress.com/series/latin-for-children/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 My younger dd is doing GSWL with me. This is an effective introduction to some of the main points of Latin in a very basic, low cost book. After we finish she'll move to the BBoLL. BBoLL is colorful, written to the kid, and satisfies your online requests. It has a very enjoyable history of Rome component which stretches over both books. The two books together are essentially a first year of high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleynne Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Depending on the age of your child I would recommend Memoria Press' courses (younger child) or Latin Alive! (middle or high school age). Both have all the components you are looking for and teach Latin grammar well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
