How is Latin even possible? I printed samples from Latina Christiana, and I’m feeling overwhelmed. Declensions? Conjugations? Possum? Sum? Help!
Be brave, little Piglet! (Quote from Winnie the Pooh, from all who are wondering – my brain also stuffed with fluff!) I remember having those EXACT same fears when we started Latin! I would look at the book and, well, it was all Greek to me!
As you take it one step at a time, it begins to make sense. Really, it’s just like following complicated directions in a recipe or something. Just take it one step at a time, and then it begins to make sense. I promise! Plus, remember the advice that Dori gives in Nemo and “Just keep swimming” and you’ll get it figured out.
That being said, I did use Latin Road, and they do assume that 1) you’re homeschooling and 2) the teacher is a mom who doesn’t know Latin. That may have been why it was OK for us. I did look at Wheellocks’ Latin and couldn’t even BEGIN the first chapter in that one. I believe that Latin Road is for 5th and up, but you’d have to check the website.
