sparrow Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 We're going to pick up Latin again, after having finished Lively Latin about 2 years ago. I have Henle, but I'm wondering if I should ease in with GSWL and then move to Henle? I also want to make sure I have what I need to start Henle. I have the First Year and Grammar texts, Answer Key, and the MP Cheryl Lowe Study Guide. Do I need anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Is this, Seton Key, http://www.setonbooks.com/viewone.php?ToView=S-L1HS-12, the one that you have? It has all the answers, not just the answers to Essential exercises. I would not use GSWL at this point but jump right into Henle, given your background.

sparrow Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for your help. It appears I have this answer key: http://www.christianbook.com/henle-latin-1-answer-key/robert-henle/9780829412055/pd/646689?item_code=WW&netp_id=1131894&event=ESRCG&view=details ....so the Seton key is different? Looking at the CBD site, I see there is also a quiz and test book. Is that something I should pick up as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I don't give DD tests so we only have the basic books. From what I've read, I don't think Henle's answer key has all the answers, and you may not need answers for very simple exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The Henle answer key always has answers to the sentences etc. Does not always for grammar drills. I think you will be fine with the MP and Henle materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yes, I'd just dive in. You can always go faster if you find that the MP guide is too slow with their day-by-day breakdown. One of mine did each of their weeks in three days. The MP guides include a cumulative exam. The Henle Answer Keys don't include exercises that can easily be checked with the books. For example, he'll have you decline four nouns. If you know the declension, you can just check your work with the grammar book. The first MP guide also has all of the answers in the back. If I remember correctly, the second one does not. When I taught the Henle II book, that was tougher, so I did buy one from Mother of Divine Grace which has all of the missing answers not in the original Henle keys for both Henle I and II.
