The 25 lessons in Prima Latina cover seven parts of speech,
two tenses, 125 vocabulary words, numbers 1 through 10, basic constellations,
and introductions to conjugations, declensions, and derivatives. Each lesson is
comprised of grammar skills, five vocabulary words, a practical Latin phrase,
and a line of prayer. Also included are five review lessons, tests, an
appendix, and answer key.
The consumable Student Book provides
instructional material plus exercises. Teacher Manual contains student
pages with answers filled in. The CD includes a pronunciation guide,
prayers, and songs. The DVD Set includes 3 DVDs with lesson
presentations. Pronunciation audio and Instructional Videos are
also available in digital streaming format, and these are especially helpful for parents or teachers who do not know Latin. The Copybook provides
handwriting practice in New American Cursive, complementing each lesson. To
reinforce grammar concepts taught in Prima Latina (as well as proper sentence
structure and mechanics), the Introduction to English Grammar Student
Workbook and Teacher Key may be used alongside.
This course is designed to precede the Latina Christiana program.
