mo2 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 That my 14yo (9th grader) and I can do together. We have both had very minimal exposure to Latin (completed GSWL), so it needs to start at the very beginning. I prefer a secular program that is complete. I don't want something that only has 1 year of instruction and then I will have to switch programs. She will be doing this for a high school credit but I would like to be able to learn alongside her. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Check out Lingua Latina. You can get books from Amazon and there are a few online sites with helpful materials. It uses a family story, starting out very easy and progressing to more complex material. It is used in at least one university-level class.

Mike in SA Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Cambridge Latin is also very affordable online (I think it's ~$10/year). It has tons of content, and private tutoring on request for an additional fee. http://www.cambridgescp.com/edition5.php?p=clc^oa_intro^oa_unit1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOrchidSong Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I have the complete set of Lingua Latina for sale on the Classifieds forum here. They are unwritten in and mostly like new condition. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/classifieds/item/21590-lingua-latina-pars-i-familia-romana-set-of-6-books/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Wheelock's is very straightforward, parts-to-whole text. Lukeion uses Wheelock's first half, Chapters 1-20, for its Latin I course and the second half, Chapters 21-40, for its Latin II course. After that, you'd move to Latin readings using Wheelock's Latin Reader or some other reading text. It's completely secular. A solid, grammar-based text like Wheelock's would give you a solid foundation and an efficient path to Latin readings and the AP Latin exam, if those are your goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Latin Book 1 and Latin Book 2 are available free (with answers) in their entirety on their Yahoo groups. The books are cheap on Amazon if you want a hard copy. These books have served us very well and are what we moved to after GSWL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS Started with Oxford (self-study), switched to Wheelock, finished it, then went back to Oxford, finished it, and is doing Cambridge now. Each one is subtly different, but Wheelock definitely is strongest on grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
