Getting Started with latin by Linney
With the required textbook and the free audio recordings on youtube, this resource uses a self learning approach to teach beginners level latin to students struggling in the subject. The Getting Started with Latin and Keep Going with Latin books provide a unique method to help self-taught students overcome the struggles of studying Latin at home. What makes this resource special is that it provides students the option of listening to free audio recordings that pronounce the answers to the exercises and explain the lessons in further detail. The story behind this resource is the creator, William E. Linney, wanted to provide homeschooled and self taught students with the means to obtain extra Latin help. The website itself is relatively easy to navigate for it has clear headings and links to all the necessary information and required materials. For each lesson, students will complete the exercises and check their answers in the back of the textbook and, if needed, listen to the audio recordings for pronunciation and extra help with the lesson. The Getting Started with Latin and Keep Going with Latin books are especially useful and designed for homeschooled and self taught students to easily learn or better their Latin at home. Therefore, this resource is not suited for students who struggle to manage their time and/or struggle to stay consistent with teaching themselves the material.
Grades: There aren't specific grades; however, the course material is at the beginner level.
Cost: The Getting Started with Latin book workbook costs $21.95 and the Keep Going with Latin workbook costs $22.95 on amazon. However, the audio recording with the pronunciations and extra help is free!
