MCT users...a latin question.

[Jayne J]

I am looking at MCT. (Who isn't.) I wonder if doing grammar in our Latin course (LfC) along with MCT will be too grammar intensive. Plus I'll likely keep WWE 2/3 going as well. Am I trying to do too much and just overlapping everything pointlessly? I am all for streamlining ala LCC. My original plan was CW, LfC and FLL 3 but MCT is so...pretty.

 

Help a gal out and organize my acronyms for me?:D

I may not be any help as I love grammar (and English studies in general, plus we use multiple math programs! :lol: ), but we use MCT (Island level) along with LfC A, FLL (3 for ds#1; he'll start 4 in late winter), and even GWG (at the end of my pregnancy I realized I needed something less me-intense; we still alternate between GWG and FLL). I love the overlap personally. They (ds#1 and ds#2) are learning grammar in both Latin and English, they are learning that subject complements can be predicate nominatives or predicate adjectives (FLL & LfC uses the later whereas MCT uses the former, IIRC), and honestly they love it. Ds#2, in particular, loves to parse sentences. It may be a bit overkill (I too was going for a more LCC driven school day), but the programs are all such strong programs and thus far work very, very well together, that we are keeping with it.

I'm using Lively Latin with my kids, not LfC, but it does teach grammar, and the kids receive grammar instruction through Greek, as well. So far MCT has complemented our other grammar instruction.

Not even remotely. :)

 

Where your LA programs overlap, they'll reinforce each other. But mostly they teach different things -- or at least the same things from such radically different directions that they're like different subjects.

I think it's great. The study of Latin and English grammar reinforce one another beautifully. DS even commented to me how his study of Latin really helps him with grammar.
