RobinL in Canada Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My youngest son will be 13/ gr 8 next year, and we're planning to begin Latin then; he has only studied Latin and Greek roots so far (and a bit of Greek). Way back when, my older sons used some of Latina Christiana and Lingua Angelica, and I do have a preference for the ecclesiastical pronunciation. What I'm wondering is whether it would be feasible to use Latin Alive but use the ecclesiastical rather than classical pronunciation. I'd like to get the teacher DVDs, but would it end up being too confusing to listen to her use classical pronunciation, but practice ecclesiastical pronunciation ourselves? Or would that just be too problematic and silly, and I should just give in and go with the classical style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristinannie Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I like ecclesiastical pronunciation because we are Catholic. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiKC Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Doesn't Latin Alive have both? Latin for Children does (same publisher). But if it doesn't, I'd give in to classical. I think it'd be kind of confusing or just more distracting to practice the other. I guess I wouldn't want the distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
