I'd like your input!

I'm experimenting with a new format for an intermediate/advanced Latin reader. The intended procedure is:

1. First two columns: Read Latin and English side by side. The Latin is rephrased in English word order as much as possible, but still with complex classical sentence structure.

2. Third column: Read the Latin without English definitions, but with simplified sentence structure.

3. Bottom: Read the original Latin.

Is the intended use clear from the format?

Does the progression improve your reading comprehension?

Let me know!

Gouin series are short skits with simple sentences. They're designed to be memorized in about an hour, and are a phenomenal way to expand your vocabulary and implicitly take in basic grammar.

This one is from Latin Through Stories, hands down the best Latin curriculum for kids aged 5-10. I'm using it with my 3rd and 4th graders this year, and I'm so excited. You can read about it and purchase it here: https://k12classical.udallas.edu/k-5-latin-curriculum/

The art in the Chicago Method isn't just decoration.

Rather, it's meant to reinforce Charlotte Mason's principle that education is the science of relations. Every chapter includes art that can be described with vocabulary and grammar from that chapter, which means that every picture is an opportunity for students to form a relationship with Latin, and with their teacher and peers through Latin.

Does that sound like the way you want your child (or yourself) to learn a language? Subscribe now, for free, to get Lesson 4—link in comments.

Knowing Latin is a HUGE help when learning Romance languages. But that doesn't mean learning Latin *for that reason* is worth the effort.

"Tibi traxi donum, Seniorissa Pira."
"Jacome, non possum acceptare tuum germanulum."

(traxi sounds odd in this context, and seniorissa/germanulus are attested but non-classical; but it was fun to see how close I could get to the Spanish.)

Do you want to learn to read long, beautiful sentences like this in Latin?

Sign up for my class on Bonaventure's Itinerarium starting on September 4th. It's being offered through the phenomenal Lyceum Institute, making it shockingly affordable (as in, a ten week course that costs less than an hour of private tutoring with me).

Join us in September! Enrollment link in comments.
