Latin in the Christian Trivium

Latin is helpful for nearly everyone! Influencing English and Romance languages in both vocabulary and grammar, learning Latin can help students easily learn new vocabulary and do better on tests. Latin is also a language of history, and can unlock ancient texts and inscriptions, as well as the Vulgate.

This Volume 1 textbook includes 16 chapters which provide an introduction to the language of Latin, as well as the history of Italy, Rome, the Republic, and other aspects of Roman life. Using the Bible as the primary source, this unique curriculum provides information on the alphabet, pronunciation, declensions, moods, and other basic grammatical information. Charts, examples, and graphs provide helpful notes on memorizing or recalling certain facts. Exercises are included, though they must be written in a student-provided notebook. Following a story of a Roman centurion and his family, students will learn new vocabulary in context as they read.

Ecclesiastical pronunciations used in church music are used. 96 pages plus dictionary and forms included. Grammatical and Topical index in back of textbook. Each vocabulary includes English derivatives for the Latin words which may be used for spelling or vocabulary words for English class. Volume 1 has been accredited by the University of California for a year's high school Latin credit; the authors recommend grades 6 & up.
