Latina Christiana I Student Book (Latin Edition) Review
I bought this book with some trepidation, having tried to use Matin Latin for one of my older sons, with no success, only confusion. Latina Christiana works from the parts to the whole, and my child was learning and speaking a few words of Latin within thirty minutes. He ENTHUSIASTICALLY has memorized the prayers in the book, and LOOKS FORWARD to the next lesson. This book also shows the child the parts of speech, in small, easy to digest bites. It also shows clearly the Latin roots relationship to modern words, which my son (age 10) really enjoys. One "caveat", the book DOES reference the CD for some lessons, so you must buy both for the entire experience, but it works OK without. You'll just be missing answers to a couple of questions on the assignments. My son said Latina Christiana falls only a few notches short of spending time with his Nintendo DS, so I'm guessing that's a good review (?). Overall, this is VERY easy to teach from, even to a ten-year-old boy with the attention span of a gnat.
Latina Christiana I Student Book (Latin Edition) Overview
Latina Christiana is a beginning course for students of all ages. Each lesson consists of ten vocabulary words, a set of grammar forms, and a Latin saying. Exercises reinforce memory work, teach systematic grammar and provide simple translation. Prayers, songs, conversational Latin, history lessons, maps, and games add interest and motivation. Both Christian and classical content. The thirty lessons can be completed in a year or longer depending on age of student and experience of teacher.
