EmilyK Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 My signature is out of date but I have a 15 year old high schooler who's more of the lifelong learner type than my younger child. He's a freshman in a challenging high school that really suits him. He has a pretty quiet summer planned other than some backpacking trips and family vacation. He told me that he would really like to learn some Latin over the summer. He's in his third year old high school French if that makes a difference. Knowing him and his situation, he really thrives with video and audio learning. He and I are doing some fun MOOCs together, he loves watching documentaries and he likes Teaching Company type things. Is there anything like that for Latin, or even Latin and Greek word roots? I will end up doing it with him I'm sure, but I'm more up for reading oriented courses than he is, given how much reading and writing he does for school. Thanks for any ideas. He's a history nut so loves anything about Roman history as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arborite Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Getting Started with Latin. If he is still hungry after that there are many more options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I haven't seen it, but there is a new Teaching Company Latin I video out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nscribe Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 We bought the Teaching Company Latin video and like it. Dd is taking Latin with Lukeoin, but the video allows for us to review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There are dvds that teach Memoria Press' Form Latin curriculum. The forms concentrate on learning Latin grammar. There's a whole lot of chanting going on. If you'd rather do a reading based class, there are You Tube videos that teach the Cambridge Latin 1 course.

Beth in Mint Hill Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Oh my! There are so many great resources available on youtube. I don't know this teacher but he should have won some sort of award for these. I send my students here when they need extra help with more advanced Latin grammar concepts; the channel is called "Latintutorial" and here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/user/latintutorial/featured And here are my own recorded "tutorials" for Latina Ponti, which I put together for my Latin class this past year:http://www.summerlatin.org/LatinClasses.html :tongue_smilie: Hope you can get some use from them!

nansk Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 And here are my own recorded "tutorials" for Latina Ponti, which I put together for my Latin class this past year: http://www.summerlatin.org/LatinClasses.html Thank you for sharing the link here. I have used the first few of these videos. I am a visual learner and I prefer to learn by reading books. I actually don't have patience for video instruction and yet, to my surprise, your Latina Ponti videos were just the right length and immensely helpful. Do you have videos for the last four chapters of the book? I have not reached that point yet, but it would be good to have all the lessons for when I get there. Thanks!

Beth in Mint Hill Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yes, Nansk, I will have them up this summer... Even though my class didn't go past ch 24; Those extra chapters are sort of extra, for 'enrichment' and so we didn't cover them. But I will record tutorials for them, also.
