Medieval Mom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Can we move right into First Form Latin after completing GSWL? Ds will be in 4th. Henle? LC? :willy_nilly: (<----- Me, deciding our Latin for next year.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeemama Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would say yes, but take it slowly with a 4th grader. My DD11 began First Form with the DVDs this year (5th). She really likes the program, but probably won't finish until August, this is after having one year of Prima Latina in 4th. An older student can start FF with no prior Latin. IMO it moves relatively quickly and covers a lot. HOpe that helps!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would agree w/Coffeemama, with the following questions for thinking: How did your ds do w/GSWL? If he is really comfortable with the material, FF (at whatever pace he is comfy) would be just fine. If he is still a little shaky & you want a further foundation (with some review), LC 1 at whatever pace would be good. If he really liked the sentences to translate, you could start Henle at a slow rate, especially if you are going to be trucking right along with him. :auto: I like the hand-holding Memoria Press gives me, so I'm going that route.

He's done very well with GSWL, and he loves the sentences to translate. :) It sounds like any of the three could work, depending on how much emphasis we want to put on Latin next year. Thanks!
