The half dozen Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am shocking myself. For someone who has only read these boards for years, to have two questions in one day is amazing. You can tell by my limited posts I don't do this very often. Thanks for putting up with the questions. What would you use if you are starting a 8th or 9th grader in Latin for the first time? No Latin or foreign language experience. He has used Rod and Staff English for 3rd-8th and done really well. Need something that can be mostly self taught. Thanks, Tammi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb in NZ Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Galore Park's So You Really Want to Learn Latin 1 Galore Park's Latin Prep 1 Lively Latin I would suggest either of the Galore Park texts for your ds. LP 1-3 covers the same amount of material as SYRWTL Latin 1-2. My dd likes the format of SYRWTL Latin, while LP fits my Ds#1 better. There are samples on the website of both books.

Vida Winter Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I like Getting Started With Latin. It's very gentle and easy to use, and gets the student translating simple sentences right away. It's also fairly inexpensive and has website support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
