Halcyon Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I am debating continuing with Book 2. We might, i just want to be sure I Have looked at other options. For one, i dont think LL has enough translation, but he will not be mature enough for Henle. Latin Prep? This is for my younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAM Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I decided to do Latin for Children and we actually started with A, which I debated about long and hard, but I think the review is going to be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyJen Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We are taking a detour through Minimus before heading off to Lively Latin 2. I like that the story is apparently based upon an actual excavation near Hadrian's Wall-- for example, there is a story about a birthday party, and they show a party invitation that was found during the excavation. A ring is showed off in the story, and there is a photo of a ring recovered in the excavation. The entire thing is of course fictionalized, but it is well-done, and has been a nice reinforcement of vocabulary learned for both of my boys (DS11 finished Lively Latin, and DS9 finished Prima Latina). This will not be an entire year's curriculum, even with the mini-book add-ons, but I'm not regretting the detour at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybe i could do LL2 but add readings from.....ecce romani? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We're using Latin Prep 1 after finishing Lively Latin. This is with the 9 yo, though. I don't think I'd try this with a younger, though. 5th grade seems about perfect. It moves *way* faster than LL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, i dont think LL has enough translation, but he will not be mature enough for Henle. Latin Prep? This is for my younger. We will be finishing Big Book one in a few weeks and I still haven't decided where to go next. :D I bought Latin Prep and LFC B, but didn't like either of them. I really like Latin Alive and Latin for the New Millennium, but think it would be best to wait a year or two for either of those choices. I am considering Looking At Latin online, because I already own the book and really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not an actual course, but rather online supplements such as fill in the blank quizzes and review of the lessons in the book.

Laura Corin Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Latin Prep? This is for my younger. I have a strong memory of Calvin (tested PG, blah blah), aged about 11, with his face all screwed up like a little monkey's trying to hold in his head all at the same time the way that verbs, nouns, adverbs, adjectives all had to change in order for him to translate from English to Latin. The grammar and vocabulary in LP can look straight-forward, but the pace is fast and the E-L translation is fierce. I wouldn't recommend starting it before age 10, or age 9 at the very earliest (and at half speed). Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am leaning towards LL2 with translations and readings from vintage texts and some beginning Latin readers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm thinking to do as well. We had tried LFC before but, it was not received well by my dd. She enjoyed LL1 and I reasoned that with some extra translation from ecce romani why switch?
