We began journeying 
We received a Visual Latin 1 DVD a few weeks ago to try out and it has been going well. I used it with Marie to give her a little reprieve from the current Latin Program she is using.
We had great results in the few lessons she has been through! We received the DVD version with lessons 1-10. Each DVD has 10 complete lessons with included worksheets in PDF files form for the worksheets that accompany the lessons. The setup of was simple, just pop it into your CD drive and your off on a fun filled lesson of Latin. The Lessons are broken down into 3 simple steps.
Step 1 ~ Grammar. Latin teacher Dwane Thomas introduces the lesson in an engaging, fun, and quirky way. After the lesson is finished your child will then complete the corresponding worksheet.
Step 2 ~ Sentences. Again, Dwane will give a short lesson with sentences using the Grammar from step 1. A short worksheet will be completed.
Step 3 ~ Reading. Dwane reads a passage from an abridged Latin Vulgate. Again there is a worksheet for the child to translate the passage they just reviewed in the video.
Yes, Latin can be fun! A you want to know a great part? This program makes it feel like you have your very own Latin tutor right in the comfort of your own home.
“Add that to Dwane’s ability to address your children directly and your kids have their own personal Latin tutor right in your home. They will smile, chuckle and even laugh at him as he teaches, whether it’s making a pun or making a mistake.
That’s right – we let the camera roll so every now and then Dwane slips up and corrects himself. It happens in a real class, right? And kids make mistakes themselves, right? This is something kids can relate to that builds great rapport. Furthermore, it relaxes them”
Visual Latin is a great program and I whole heartedly recommend it for anyone just starting to learn Latin or just needing a different approach to learning this great language. The lessons are short and you find yourself laughing at Dwane’s humor. You can try 6 introductory lessons for yourself by clicking HERE.
