Raising Little Shoots Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I am planning our school year for 2012-2013 Currently my 9 yo dd is working through 'Getting Started with Latin' & I am wondering what would be a good curriculum for her to use next? I myself have zero Latin knowledge... thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 :bigear: Hopefully someone else will chime in that has actually done this, but our tentative plan is to use Lively Latin after we go through GSWL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscopup Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 :lurk5: I'm looking at Lively Latin and the free Google Book "Latin Book 1" (which has a yahoogroup with some cool stuff on it). I have a year to decide though. We're starting GSWL this coming school year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracyP Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm not there yet either, but I'm looking at Henle or First Form Latin.:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I haven't done it yet, but I'm looking at doing Latin Prep 1 after GSWL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The author of GSWL has a free online Latin class consisting of lessons and audio downloads here to follow up on GSWL. I don't think the course is complete though. We looked at a few options and ultimately decided on Galore Park's Latin Prep 1 for next year. Hopefully it will work out for us, as I have no Latin experience either. I plan on purchasing the audio CD and workbooks to accompany Book 1, although I don't think books 2 & 3 have accompanying workbooks or textbooks. I very seriously considered Henle, and if Latin Prep 1 doesn't work out, we'll probably go in that direction instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) After GSWL, we continued with Henle. Smooth transition. This was 2.5 years ago, and I've recently added in Latin for the New Millenium, just the textbook and workbook (the TM seems prohibitively expensive), for extra reading material. It's a different style - half immersion, half grammar. This approach wouldn't have worked for us back then, but with 3 years of study, it's actually kind of fun now, but I think the fun stems from knowing some Latin. When we started using Henle, FFL hadn't come out yet (I think, or maybe it did but I wasn't a forum member back then and therefore wasn't aware of this book) but I think I would have chosen this book, rather than Henle, as MP claims it follows it quite well.
