Publisher's Description of Prima Latina Student Book
Are you looking for a gentle introduction to Latin and a course that prepares your young student for a more advanced study of the language? Prima Latina is specifically designed for students and teachers with no Latin background. This course was developed for children in 1st-4th grades who are still becoming familiar with English grammar and wish to learn Latin at a slower pace and learn English grammar in the process. Its goal is to teach and reinforce an understanding of the basic parts of speech while introducing Latin. It benefits the student by teaching him half of the vocabulary in Latina Christiana I and grounding him in the fundamental concepts of English grammar, the key to Latin study. The grammar lessons are set forth in a form appropriate for primary grades. The review lessons that follow each unit provide the consistent review needed to master Latin. With clear explanations and easy-to-read lessons in a two-color format, Prima Latina is perfect for those teachers and parents who would like to start their students on an early study of Christian Latin. Prima Latina is also the perfect preparation for Latina Christiana.
Category Description for Prima Latina (Gr. K-3)
This course is aimed towards young Latin scholars. Designed to precede Latina Christiana I, it introduces students to beginning Latin. 25 lessons cover seven parts of speech, two tenses, 125 vocabulary words, numbers 1 through 10, basic constellations, and introductions to conjugations, declensions and derivatives. The consumable Student Book provides instructional material plus exercises. The lessons are broken down into grammar skills, five vocabulary words, a practical Latin phrase, and a line of prayer that is completely learned by the end of the chapter. Also included are five review lessons, five tests, and an appendix and answer key. The Teacher Manual contains student pages with answers filled in. The Pronunciation CD (available in hard copy or streaming) includes an introduction, pronunciation guide, prayer instructions, the sanctus, the doxology, the table blessing, the pater noster, and pronunciation helps for the lessons. The DVD Set includes 3 DVDs with the lesson presentation. Pronunciation audio and instructional Videos are also available in digital streaming format - the access code will be e-mailed 1-2 days after purchase. We offer the individual components separately, or in sets for convenience. The Text Set includes the student book, teacher manual, and CD. The Complete Set includes theStudent and Teacher Books, the CD, flashcards (designed to be used with both Prima Latina and Latina Christiana I) and DVDs. The Copybook provides handwriting practice in New American Cursive that complements each lesson.

My 3rd grader and I have enjoyed using this Latin curriculum It is nicely laid out very clear and simple It makes sense and Latin is easy to learn with this method It is adaptable as well - I like to make the exercises and practice more fun for my son and I can do thatThe one problem I have with this particular set of Latin lessons is that the teacher uses several mispronunciations in her spoken examples Right after she reminds us that the Latin "a" is always pronounced "ah " she has us repeat "magister" with an "a" like in "hat!" Likewise "Jesus" She explains that "s" is always like the "s" in "soap" without exception and then a moment later she says "Jesus" as "YAY-zoos" "Ambulo" she says as "AHM-byoo-low" And so forth This is very unauthentic Latin pronunciation not to mention contradictory to the rules she herself lays out And her thick Southern accent has my son confused and pronouncing his Latin "o" vowels with a Southern accent!So this is something I've had to correct in every lesson as we go so that the incorrect pronunciation doesn't get into his ear

I used this text with both my 4th grader & 6th grader Neither child had any prior foreign language experience therefore I chose it for its simplicity My boys loved it & looked forward to Latin time The biggest bonus was the reinforcement & explanation of English grammar while showing how Latin compares to it I definitely appreciated the Pronunciation CD I would also use the Teacher guide It contains tests & tips that I used Instead of buying premade flashcards they made their own Doing so enabled memory copying & dictation skills

This course uses a lot of Christian material but as a non-Christian I think it is still the best Latin course for anyone teaching younger children All other books I looked at 'drowned' the child in the first lesson I have been using this book with my 8 year old for 2 months and we love it It is wonderfully straightforward and we really like the fact that it proceeds in such small manageable chunksWe work through the new bits together and then my daughter does the written bits over 2 daysWe also play charades to learn new words which is very popularI really wish I could find other language programmes written in the same way

Why did you choose this?
My older girls used the whole Prima Latina set as their introduction to Latin, and we loved it...time for a younger brother to start!
school requirement
We used this for intro to Latin in 1st grade, and a review in 2nd grade. Because it is a workbook, 1st grade responses were in print, and since she learned beginner cursive she reviewed what she had…
