And perhaps we didn't immerse ourselves in Latin the same way we did with French? So a program that has a little independent work is probably best? She has always loved language, reading, writing, grammar. She is already talking about wanting to learn another language, which I am wanting to hold off on for another year or two until she has more grounding in French and Latin. She uses Duolingo for French as well as the activities we do in our group French learning time. She doesn't have the same enthusiasm for Latin though, and I think that could be partly because she had to wait for me to be available to teach her most days. I have two younger girls who will be needing my time as well, and I am not sure that spending 30 minutes every day on Latin is beneficial for my daughter this year? She began French and Latin this year and is loving French. As much as I would love it to be independent, I know that is not the best way to learn Latin. I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
So in looking around and researching Latin programs, I have come up with three or possibly four that might work. I have the study guide written by Cheryl Lowe and it is recommended to do First Year Latin - considering my DD is going into Grade 6 - First Year Latin sounds right for her. I thought that I would keep Henle (how is that even pronounced?) for myself and use it with my girls when they are in high school. So due to the cost (exchange rate added), I began looking into other Latin options. But silly me, thought that I would be able to access the videos through youtube, but they are only samples. I purchased Henle First Year Latin thinking we would use that with Visual Latin. I think I want my girls to be able to understand and read Latin? To also see Latin words and understand English grammar? And yes I most definitely want my girls to learn Latin, I am not really sure what my goal is for learning Latin now.
I purchased GSWL to whet our appetite and see if we wanted to continue with Latin. Okay so I used Getting Started With Latin with my DD11 this year and we need another Latin program to go on with next year.
