boltgirl Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Do you have the DVD? Do you use it? Can I easily use the program without the DVD? We would be using primer A. I am trying to use my home school budget wisely, so any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Do you know Latin? If so I'd say you could do it without the DVDs. If not, I'd get the DVDs. They helped a LOT when we used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boltgirl Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 I took three years of Latin in High School, but I don't know how much I retained. Thanks for your reply. It is probably better to understand using the DVDs than to get frustrated by ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 While you can use it without the DVD's I'd say you're better off having them. You can get the pronunciation from the CD, but IMO, even though the grammar is pretty much word for word what is on the 2nd page of the weekly lesson, it's better to be able to watch it and see him writing things out on the board. BTW, the DVD's are incredibly cheesy, but we love them for their cheesiness. The instructor guy is just a big old slice awesome in his goofiness. I don't say that be unkind. I genuinely like him for it. It's endearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I really think they're necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verity Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I found them really helpful! Adding a visual presentation and the occasional fun/funny moments was a great motivator especially with Primer A. And...having multiples to teach I'm always glad to move one thing off my platter! Goodl uck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The DVDs are vital in my opinion. I went through the whole book with my older kids, and now my current third grader is using it. On that first pass I would have been lost without the DVD, and on my second pass it's still thoroughly enhancing it better than I could do on my own.
