Description

The DVD & CD Sets are the next best thing to actually taking a Latin class. Or perhaps they're better, since you can rewind and pause each lesson as needed! Although at first glance the price tag seems hefty, the set for Book 1 includes seven DVDs which contain video lessons for all 29 chapters. Although I half-expected author Karen Moore to fly through the lessons and concepts, she steadily and methodically progresses through each lesson, presenting material that complements the textbook beautifully. If you are serious about your Latin study and neither you nor your student has ever taken Latin previously, you will find the DVD/CD set a huge help purely from a pronunciation standpoint. As Karen teaches the lessons, she pronounces all of the Latin example words used. Just the repeated exposure to spoken Latin would be a huge help to a student learning to train their ear and tongue to the pronunciation of words that look – but don't necessarily sound – similar to English.
Publisher's Description of Latin Alive! Book 2 DVD & CD Set

Latin Alive! Book 2 continues the relevant, rigorous, and incremental Latin instruction begun in Latin Alive! Book 1. The Latin Alive! series features original Latin writings, giving students access to the works of great Latin authors. As the second text in a three-year series, Latin Alive! Book 2 is an entry point to advanced grammatical studies. Author and teacher Karen Moore continues her excellent Latin instruction in the Latin Alive! Book 2 Video & Audio Set. The video includes 27 lessons, each of which is an average of 40 minutes. This brings the total length of video to nearly 18 hours of instruction, all taught by an enthusiastic and delightful teacher! The audio recordings feature the unit review Latin readings by Nicholas Martin and Gaylan DuBose. These readings allow students to listen to each story so they can develop their listening skills and practice proper pronunciation and accent.

Buying for a school? The Latin Alive! Book 2 is a great tool for the classroom! It can be used as:

  • A helpful resource for new Latin teachers, both for themselves and for the class
  • A substitute teacher when the regular teacher is away
  • A helpful library item for new students or for students who need extra review
