Has anyone used this Latin resource?

No but I just added it to my wish list so I can find it again.

It looks vaguely familiar. I see a 1991 copyright. 

 

I'm a Henle fan. Reduced vocabulary and lots of drill of the grammar that was presented in a logical order. I don't think I liked this book.

My son is big on Greek Mythology right now. I wonder if he would like to do this between his regular books, not in place of.

Yes, my teens used it a couple/few years ago. It only lasts about a month, if I recall correctly. I think that's the one we really needed a Latin dictionary to get through. They enjoyed it, and it was a fun break between two Latin curricula.

[Hunter]

I sometimes used other curricula for extra reading practice. This might work for that.

[SilverMoon]

I wouldn't use it just for the reading practice. Get something like Winnie Ille Pu or Cattus Petasatus for light readings.

 

Learning Latin through Mythology is just fun myth based work without much substance. There's barely any instruction. It would work for a fun supplement, a break from full curricula, or maybe as an introduction to studying Latin.

I own this. It's fine for reading practice, but there is no logical order to how the grammar is presented, and the instruction is not very extensive, so I would view it merely as a fun supplement and not anything for primary instruction.

I used LLTM for a monthly Latin club, where the kids were using different curricula at home, and it worked well that way. It's definitely a supplement, not a core text. It's similar in format to Cambridge Latin, but is much, much less sequential and systematic.
