bluebonnetgirl Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Is there a good, beginning Latin course, computer based, self-paced for beginners with an interactive component? Something like Teaching Textbooks, but for Latin? Looking for a high schooler, who has some special needs and could benefit from audio-visual interactive learning.

3andme Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Visual Latin or Latin Alive have dvd lessons which would add some audio/visual input. I believe these are classical not ecclesiastical. Artes Latinae is a self paced program. Unfortunately, they no longer support the PC version on Windows 10 and up although you could buy a used copy of the program and use on an older operating system maybe. They also have a non-pc version with cd and books. There is an ecclesiastical option.f Some of the other traditional programs like Cambridge Latin have online exercises. You can also find online quizzes for most of the major programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 KET offers online Latin. My son is taking Latin 1 right now. It is computer based, online, self-paced. You have to finish it in the school-year or pay a fee to continue into the next school-year. You set a calendar at the beginning of the year so that you know if you are on track to finish by your end-date, but in reality you can go at any pace. You watch online videos and do computer based (computer graded) homework. There is excellent support if you have any questions (usually my son gets answers within an hour when he emails the teacher questions - and the answers are good). There are a few computer based assignments that are human-graded. There are some projects (like a short reports) that are done quarterly and human graded. The price is reasonable for everyone and excellent if you live in KY. This is offered to homeschoolers anywhere and is used my many schools in KY who want to offer Latin, but don't have a Latin teacher. http://www.dl.ket.org/courses_latin.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymatters Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Have you looked at Memoria Press' First Form series? https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/latin/ There's no interactive quality, but there are the DVDs. Here's a list to look through: http://cathyduffyreviews.com/homeschool-reviews-core-curricula/foreign-language/latin Here's a super-duper Latin comparison chart: http://www.homeschoolchristian.com/curricula/reviews/latincomparison.php Would your Priest (assuming you're active) be an option to work one-on-one?
