MorningGlory Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Has anyone actually used this Latin translation course? I've done some searching and can't find any posts with "first hand" experiences. I would love to hear from someone who has used it. Was it worthwhile? Did it enhance your Henle studies? Would you use it again? Background: My 10 year old son (5th grade) will finish LC II by Christmas break (after having completed PL and LC I). At this point, I plan to have him begin Henle with the MP study guide. And I have found that my goals for his Latin studies have changed. Initially, I was only interested in Latin for its vocabulary boost. But my son seems to have a natural "knack" for this language; he is mathematically-minded and loves the order and patterns of Latin. That is why I thought a translation course along with Henle might appeal to him. Thank you! Jetta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in VA Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Well I'd hardly say I have first hand experience but we are using it. We just started last week. My 9 year old is using it along side Henle and the MP guides. I'd have my older one use it too but she's doing Henle in one year with a co-op so she's got plenty of Latin to do right now. She'll do some of the advanced lessons later in the year. I can tell you a bit about how it's set up. It's set up in three sections. Level 1, Level II and Level III. Each level it set up to take a year - as if you were breaking Henle by MP guides. In the front it gives you an exact layout of how each lesson co-ordinates with Henle lessons. Level I is primarily grammar exercises and sentence translation with sentences based on Bible stories. Level II steps the difficulty up. By Level III you are translating full paragraphs from the Bible. I wouldn't call it necessary but it's a nice compliment to Henle for additional translation work and a break from the 'The Gauls invaded Rome' kind of sentences.
