mamamin Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have read that there is quite a bit of vocabulary contained in Big Book of Lively Latin I. I am planning on starting it next year for 4th grade for my DD. We will be moving from MCT island to town next year also, and I'm wondering that if that is indeed the case, that it may be overkill to also do the vocabulary book from MCT. Anyone have experience with both? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We did all of Lively Latin I and part of LL2 while we were doing MCT. We finally dropped Latin, but continued with MCT. It was the right choice for us. There just isn't enough time for everything, and Latin didn't make the cut. I see the benefits of vocab study frequently, so I'm happy we continued..

And are you happy with CE specifically? I'm trying to decide whether to begin Latin next year with my DD3, age 9, or if I would be happier just doing a terrific job with Greek/Latin roots.

Yes, I was happy with CE, but we did it at the same time we were doing Lively Latin, so I can't speak for it alone. Upon further reflection, I'm glad we did LL 1. Yes, we dropped Latin, but looking back, I'm also glad we spent some time with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, what she said! We loved Caesar's English. We're starting to figure out Word Within the Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamamin Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks for your responses! anyone else have an advice about the vocabulary portions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I forgot to mention that there is not much vocab in MCT until WWW. I believe there were only 5 stems or words per lesson at the levels before WWW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
