StartingOver Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 We are loving Latin Prep. The case order is different than we have learned in Lively Latin but, not a huge deal. It's so simple, uncluttered, and challenging. There is some review at a much faster pace. Very clearly written. I think I love this as much as I did GSWL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Do you think LL was worth doing after GSWL, or would you recommend going straight to Latin Prep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 The age of the child would matter in answering that question. And if you are learning along side or not. We did Lively Latin after finishing FLL4, so the Grammar wasn't too much for my son. I work along side him too. He is almost 9. We really enjoyed Lively Latin it moved much slower with more review. I think a 10 year old or older child could skip LL completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Ten is a good age for starting Latin Prep, I think - I wouldn't do it earlier. And it does start from the beginning, with no assumption of background. It's really important to learn the grammar as you go along though: it won't say 'Now learn this' but later chapters will assume that the grammar in earlier chapters has been learned. The author said that the grammar should be learned to 'three in the morning' standard - if someone were to shake you awake in the middle of the night, you would still be able to come out with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 We're planning do to Latin Prep next year, after going through 3 stages of Cambridge Latin because DD has decided she needs something more explicit as far as the labeling goes after a Latin exam where she could do the translations easily, but not the identification-type stuff. I'm hoping she enjoys it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I was resistant for a bit, so happy I decided to purchase. I did go back and order the workbooks just so my, younger than recommended, child would have some extra practice. I will recommend this as highly as GSWL now. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I figure we'll get the workbooks. Both because I need stuff DD can do independently as much as possible (we have a good number of long drives, where I can talk to her, but I can't sit with her and see what she's doing due to her science stuff) and that the book itself is likely to be review, but actually writing the stuff should help her put it on what she already knows. I do wish I could just order everything from one place. So far, I have shopping carts at Amazon, Rainbow Resource, and Book Depository UK for next year-and I need to do a chemical order, too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Ray @ Horrible Books sell all the Galore Park books? http://www.horriblebooks.com/galoreparkbooklist.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I get most of my stuff from Rainbow Resource, but not all. Ray from Horrible Books is awesome. I am waiting on So You Really Want to Learn Spanish to be back in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hmmm...it looks like Horrible Ray will be at UNR at about the same time we're there this summer.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
