homeschoolmommaof4 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I am loving what I am seeing form these samples and I am trying to figure out which series I need for my 8th grade dd who will be studying latin for the first time this year. She wants to do a year or 2 of Latin study, then move on to Spanish. I prefer she do 2 years of Latin at least, as my boys who have always been hs'ed will have had 1-2 years of elem Latin focusing on vocabulary and pronunciation (Latin's Not so Tough), and 2-3 years in middle school(prob Galore Park) focusing on latin grammar and conversational language. Would we book to jump right into So You Wanna Learn Latin 1, or do we really need to do the primers first? regardless of her age? Also, does each level take a full school year to complete? TIA!

homeschoolmommaof4 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Forgot to mention - is the fact that this is a UK written program make any difference? I would assume theri grammar is different than ours? But does that affect the Latin grammar? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna in Texas Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Have her look at the samples and see which she prefers. LP is wittier, SYR is right to the point. SYR takes a faster approach. My dd has done LP I-II and SYR I. She doesn't have a favorite. The difference between US and UK is the order of the cases when you memorize them. DD found she liked the UK version better.
