Switching classical to ecclesiastical????

[claussenpc]

I spent a lot of time deciding that we would use classical pronunciation when we started Lively Latin. My son has done wonderfully learning Latin on his own with this program.

 

I think that the Latin Road to English Grammar will be the next step for us......it is ecclesiastical.

 

We are on chapter 3 of LL 2.......would you recommend switching pronunciation now or just waiting and letting him handle the switch later?

 

Any of you went through this?

Anyone use The Bridge? I am wondering if this would be better that LL for my younger two. I own LL 1 & 2.....

 

thanks

Could you make the switch but just continue to use classical pronunciation? I've heard it really doesn't matter how you pronounce Latin.

I was wondering the same thing. If I was in that situation I'd probably switch the program and keep the pronunciation.

We've switched from LFC (classical) to First Form (eccles). We just reviewed the differences in the beginning. Now dd10 knows both and it's not a big deal to me which she uses. I had originally thought we would stick with classical pronunciation but once we switched I realized it didn't really matter.

We also switched from LFC to FF. My daughter has found it a little confusing, but we are at the beginning of FF. And she had only learned about a hundred of the words in LFC because she stopped in the middle.

She is 13 yo.

 

Hope that helps.
