shadah Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Dd8 is drooling over Latin's Not So Tough and Hey Andrew. What she likes: Clean pages Black and white Large print Independent Incremental I've heard this is not the best curric., but what else meets those requirements? She loves the idea of SSL, but I think it would be too easy. She doesn't handle "flashy" programs. She is going to do the sample of LfC and I am looking at Elem. Greek tomorrow. Any other ideas? This child is wired for langauges and I am trying to find a way for her to run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Memoria Press? Their stuff seems very incremental and is not flashy. Pages look very clean. It has DVDs so it could possibly be done somewhat independently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermione310 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Another vote for Memoria Press. We've used it for Prima Latina, Latina Christiana, and are now about 1/4 of the way through First Form. It's very straightforward, easy to teach, and geared toward true understanding and retention. I highly recommend the DVDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonduck Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 We did the first level of Hey Andrew before jumping into Elementary Greek. Elementary Greek moves fairly quickly and it was helpful to have the phonics down before trying to conjugate verbs, decline nouns and translate phrases and stuff. We finished EG 1 and took 2-3 months just to review before starting EG 2. I wanted to be sure the foundation was there and we weren't tripping over vocabulary and spelling while wrestling with the more difficult concepts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility7 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 oooooh GSWL all the way!!! Totally no frills but super easy to implement and learn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Ivy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 For Greek, I highly recommend the first two levels of Hey Andrew before beginning any other program. The Greek alphabet is a hurdle and Hey Andrew spends a lot of time on it. We do Hey Andrew for Greek and Getting Started with Latin at the same time, so that my kids are well prepared for other Greek and Latin programs. Getting Sarted with Latin also prepared my kids for Greek because it introduces the concepts of conjugations and declensions and all that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadah Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 I considered GSWL, but she really wants this to be her project. She wouldn't do well enough independently. I do need to let her see it in person, though. Maybe we can do the sample on that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 If she likes Latin's Not So Tough, let her use it. She doesn't need any sort of super-rigorous program at 8 years old. If she just has fun with it, great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
