Publisher Description:
Basic Set
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 Christianas 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
- 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
Flashcards
- Vocabulary with derivatives
- Latin sayings
- Conjugations & Declensions
DVDs
- 3 discs, 9 hours (15-20 min./lesson)
- Comprehensive teaching by Leigh Lowe
- Recitation & review, vocabulary practice, and explanation of derivatives
- On-screen notes, diagrams, & examples
- Self-instructive format
Category Description for Prima Latina (Gr. K-3):
This course is aimed towards young Latin scholars. Designed to precede Latina Christiana I, it introduces students to beginning Latin. 25 lessons cover seven parts of speech, two tenses, 125 vocabulary words, numbers 1 through 10, basic constellations, and introductions to conjugations, declensions and derivatives. The lessons are broken down into grammar skills, five vocabulary words, a practical Latin phrase, and a line of prayer that is completely learned by the end of the chapter. Also included are five review lessons, five tests, and an appendix and answer key. The CD (available in hard copy or streaming) includes an introduction, pronunciation guide, prayer instructions, the sanctus, the doxology, the table blessing, the pater noster, and pronunciation helps for the lessons. We offer the individual components separately, or in sets for convenience. The Text Set includes the student book, teacher manual, and CD. The Complete Set also includes the flashcards (designed to be used with both Prima Latina and Latina Christiana I) and DVDs. Lesson instruction (the DVD content) is now available streamed online.

My 5 older children have used this book to learn the basics of Latin. It's a great book that makes it easy and not overwhelming for young ones to learn Latin even while they're still getting the basics of English. It's not too confusing for them. I love it!!

Why is this one a different color - is this the same 2nd edition as the green one?
BEST ANSWER: These items have recently been updated by the publisher. We have all updated items in the warehouse but our website graphics for the DVD and for the Complete Set are outdated and still show the old covers.

I'm considering adding this to our homeschool subjects. However, my 7 yr old son is already learning Spanish. I'm worried that it might be overwhelming and/or confusing to him to try to learn both Latin and Spanish. Can anyone offer advice on teaching Spanish and Latin simultaneously?
BEST ANSWER: We haven't tried Latin and Spanish at the same time. However I do think learning Latin is making English grammar a little easier.

Is this appropriate for my 3-5th graders who have zero Latin experience or should we jump right to latina christiana?
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I am using it with my second and sixth graders. It doesn't teach an overwhelming amount of Latin. It exposes them to it slowly and they actually do most of it themselves. They quiz each other and seem to enjoy it. I am very happy with it.

Me thinks there is great wisdom in his sayings.
I've haunted for years to find a site like yours, glad to say my search is over. As to what I think of "Prima Latina" well I'm lost for words, sufficeth it to say it's fantastic. It's everything I imagined.
I'm looking forward to all my future purchases. One happy client.
All's well that ends well. The Bard.

I personally had no experience with Latin My eldest son and I sat down one day and started the first lesson of Prima Latina and by the end of it we were both excited about Latin and looking forward to continue My son enjoyed it to the point that he was using some expressions during the day For example before starting a prayer he would sometimes use the term for Let Us Pray which is Oremus We learned that the Latin alphabet has only 25 letters (I will let you search for which letter is missing) and the pronunciation of the letters are sometimes different than the English alphabetSo �Why Latin?� Latin is the base of many languages in the World � French English Spanish Portuguese and Italian to name only a few I think it would be nice to learn this language and have a good base for other languages as well Did you know that in the English language over half of the words come from Latin? I didn�t know this and I think it is pretty impressive Latin also helps to learn English grammar I am a French Canadian and I am finding that I am learning a lot in both English and French with these lessons Besides Latin is used a lot in science and understanding it would help to decipher the terms used for animals plants and other science terminologyThe DVDs are a must I highly recommend getting them as well It makes the lesson so much easier and you learn the proper pronunciation right away Leigh Lowe is just wonderful in her lessons The videos are professionally made and you can sense her passion for this language The lesson on DVD is very interactive as well Leigh takes the time to repeat multiple times to make sure the students understand and as some point she lets the students answer her in the video I think it is a great way to keep the attention of the students She also makes the lesson so easy to grasp and apply by explaining the meaning and giving the derivative You won�t look at an English word the same way anymore � I guarantee it! By combining the student book with the DVD lesson and the CD Leigh makes certain that she uses all senses to learn a complex language The student will see it on the TV and in the book hear it multiple times and also say it in response to the lessonFor younger students I strongly recommend you start with Prima Latina as it presents the basic vocabulary of the language As soon as your student is more comfortable in learning grammar and expanding his knowledge then I would recommend Latina Christiana I which can be followed by Latina Christiana II

WOW! Prima Latina has taken the Latin "Monster" out of my Classical Homeschooling closet! I was TERRIFIED to teach Latin and therefore rejected the idea of a classical education for my children Leigh Lowe has changed all that with this easy-to-use Latin curriculum! The DVD's provide concise instruction from a master teacher in an easy to watch and listen to format The presentation of each lesson is around 10 minutes in length The student book and pronunciation CD are great for daily reinforcement of each lesson and the teacher guide couldn't be better! I purchased the complete set (the best price was here at Rainbow Resource) after watching Lesson 1 at a friend's house with my son He's just 6-years-old grasping Latin like a champ and I'm no longer afraid to teach classically!
