Does anyone use this curriculum? What do you think about it? How often do you use it? I tried to use it last year just twice per week but that did not seem like it was often enough.
Yes, we used it last year and my older kids really loved it. we will be using his Spanish this coming year. We did it 4 days a week so that it stuck.
The year we used it, we used it daily. I don’t know that Latin can really have a chance to stick just being done twice a week. There is a lot of memorization involved for that. GSWL does not cover a lot of ground–maybe half to two thirds of a typical Latin I course. But it does a reasonably decent job of what it does.
How old were your kids that used it? Did you finish most of the book? Hope I am not asking too many questions here!
We loved it here. We did four lessons per week. My kids were 6th and 7th grade. I think it is a wonderful intro course! I am looking forward to using his French course after we master latin. Do you know that he has audio lessons to go along with the book? We never used them, but I know they are available for free on his website.
I used it last year with my two oldest, years 3 and 1, and we LOVED it. We will use it again this year and then transition to LFC or Linney or Minimus before Cambridge. We try to spend time daily on Latin. Just loved it. I found it very easy to teach and fun, as well.
I used it with my youngest child about 11 at the time. It’s not a bad intro; it’s especially nonthreateningly, but it doesn’t go terribly far.
