SewLittleTime Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Can you tell me why you switched and if you think it was worth it? I'm contemplating switching, but we have two years invested in LFC, and I just can't make up my mind. The samples I see are just not enough for me.

ElizabethB Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I switched from LFC to Latin Alive, I really like Latin Alive! I started using it lightly when my daughter was 9, she has a strong LA background and is good at grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petepie2 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Latin Alive is supposed to be the follow-up to LFC. We use Memoria Press and have never used Latin With Children. However, in case you're not already aware, both programs employ different methodologies for teaching Latin. The latest issue of "The Classical Teacher" has a short article about the different methods and why MP approaches Latin the way that they do. I don't see the article online by itself, but if you click on the current issue, it's over on page 5. http://www.memoriapress.com/classical-catalog Regardless, though, First - Fourth Form Latin is a complete Latin grammar course. And I'm pretty sure Latin Alive is as well. The LFC series, as well as Prima Latina and Latina Christiana, are primers. So, if you choose to switch, you haven't lost anything. Both Latin Alive and the Form Series can be done without any previous Latin if the student is old/mature enough to handle the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those that got me to thinking about if our current program was meeting our needs. I think I'll go back and reread that article.
