LAmom Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Anyone have experience and could tell me the difference between the two and which they prefer? My daughter did First Form and Second Form (but in a co-op setting). Next year she will not have a co-op that offers Latin. I like the looks of Latin Alive CAP a bit better and it seems to help prepare better for the National Latin Exam. Any would I start with Latin Alive I?

Omma Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 If you switched to Latin Alive, the recommendation from CAP is to start with Book 1. And yes, I have heard that Latin Alive does prepare you well for the NLE. Would you be doing this while still working on your own or as part of an online class? If on your own, Third Form would be easier to do independently, I believe, since you've already done First and Second Form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAmom Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Any other input? What do you prefer Third Form or Latin Alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyGirl Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm very pleased with the DVD instruction for Latin Alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 We just switched from the Forms to Latin Alive 1. The scopes are different enough that we switched after First Form even though I had already bought Second Form. Dd has had a lot of elementary Latin and decided the Forms were moving too slow. We have a used set, but got the videos, so I think she'll be pretty independent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Also, CAP sells their LA tests separately. You could buy the download of the Latin Alive 1 test set and have your dd work through those to see if she's ready for LA2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
