Scope of Level I
By the end of Level I, your child will have a thorough grounding in classical pronunciation and in the vital basics of the Latin verb, noun, and adjective systems.
Your child will know dozens of Latin vocabulary words and will be familiar with dozens of useful English derivatives.
You'll be amazed at your child's comfort level with the unique features of Latin grammar. Children learn to
- conjugate first conjugation verbs
in the present tense - decline first declension nouns
- translate lively sentences featuring
- subjects and predicate
- nominatives
- prepositional phrases
- adjectives and adverbs
- translate from and into Latin!
- and more
Grammar's reward
This selection of grammar topics provides the foundation for sentences that are fun for children to translate. By the end of Level I students can translate sentences like these:
There are fierce wild animals in the dark forests.
We are wandering in unknown lands.
We often sin, but God does not sin.
This level of translation ability is a wonderful achievement for children. But it's eminently attainable. Unusually clear grammar explanations, proper idea pacing, abundant exercises and review, and a unique topic sequence make it possible.
Pre-publication users have experienced it over many years:
The Great Latin Adventure just plain works. Your child won't be lost—and neither will you. Even if you've never studied Latin yourself.
