Halcyon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looking for some "light" fun Latin books for a Henle beginner...I know tarheelreader has some, but would love recommendations. Henle is great, but the subject matter.....weighty..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophiaH Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Have you looked at Minimus? You could get just the student book since you'd be using it as a supplement. Also, Ecce Romani would give you some lighter reading practice. Here's a couple "]Latin Readers in PDF form that you can download, recommended by the Visual Latin people. There's also the Bolchazy "I am Reading Latin" readers if you're not already familiar with them. Easy, but fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Dd occasionally picks up the first Lingua Latina book, Familia Romana, for fun. Actually, I put it on her schedule for this week, just for something a little refreshing. (I don't know what's up with the amazon pricing - I bought it new over a year ago, and I'm sure I didn't pay a lot. ETA, I see, there's a new edition) It's fun to see her use a dictionary voluntarily :) Edited January 26, 2012 by wapiti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VL is based on Lingua Latina, and dd has made it through about the first 20 lessons of VL, so for a change of pace (and because VL was starting to get to be too heavy on top of FF), we went back and she is taking a couple of weeks to go through the first chapter of LL. I also have the Mac CD that includes all the pensa and exercitia and she really loves working on that. If it works out, I might continue to move her through LL slowly until the summer when we'll likely take a break from FF and work more in VL/LL. More than you wanted to know, but anyway, fwiw...:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloggermom Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Visual Latin is a great supplement. He makes the grammar lessons so funny. My kids laugh out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
