Prima Latina uses a clear and systematic format to introduce Latin to young students. It teaches important English and Latin grammar concepts, as well as vocabulary, sayings, prayers, hymns, and constellations.
The Prima Latina Complete Set includes the Student Book, Teacher Manual, Flashcards (which can be used the following year with Latina Christiana), Instructional DVDs and an audio pronunciation guide (streaming &CD).
Following the success of Latina Christiana, parents asked for something they could use with their young elementary children. We paired our years of experience with Latina Christiana‘s easy-to-use, student-friendly format and created an introductory course for young Latin scholars. Prima Latina includes:
- 25 lessons, each including grammar lessons appropriate for primary grades, and 5 Review Lessons
- 5 vocabulary words with corresponding English derivatives per lesson
- A practical Latin phrase per lesson
- One line of a prayer per lesson that is learned in totality over 5 lessons
- Easy-to-read, 2-color format
The exercises in each lesson provide constant review of materials learned throughout the course. Every 5 lessons, students review the material and take a test (complete with key) to ensure mastery. Prima Latina is the perfect choice for:
- young children who are still becoming familiar with English grammar and wish to learn Latin at a slower pace
- those who would like to start Latin early and lay the foundation for a rigorous language arts program
