houseofrabbits Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I want to start my 7th grader and 9th grader learning Latin. I'd really like to know what others are using and why you/ your children enjoy it. Thanks! Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 They are a great age for Latin Prep. Here's a review I wrote previously: The explanations are very clear, the progression is logical, and there is a lot of great translation practice (Latin to English and English to Latin). The vocabulary is limited - the focus is on the grammar. The course is secular, and is laced with quirky translation passages (mostly based on mythology/history) and amusing cartoons. The author has twenty years of experience teaching Latin to this age group; the tone is droll and age appropriate. The basic course is the text book and answer book - one of each per year. There are also optional workbooks if you feel the need of extra practice. You can see samples here: http://www.galorepark.co.uk/product/...ep-book-1.html The books are available in the US from http://www.horriblebooks.com (Ray may have some on hand - otherwise he orders periodically in batches) or direct from the UK with free shipping from http://www.bookdepository.co.uk. I've used BD several times; service has always been excellent and very swift. I have no financial connection with Galore Park - I'm just an enthusiast for many of their products.
