Latina Christiana II: Introduction to Christian Latin - Student Book

by Cheryl Lowe

This systematic study of Latin grammar is designed to follow Latina Christiana I.  By the end of this course, students will have learned all five noun declensions, some model principal parts for the four verb conjugations, three tenses, and the use of the nominative and accusative cases.  The teacher manual has detailed grammar lessons and many helpful teaching hints.   Latina Christiana II contains five short "readings", three Scripture passages for translation, passages for memorization, including the Gloria, the Sanctus, and the Doxology, two hymns, Veni, Veni Emmanuel and Veni Creator Spiritus, and the famous medieval school song, Gaudeamus Igitur.  History questions and a three page chart/timeline summarizing Roman history complete the study of Famous Men of  Rome.   The thirty lessons can be completed in one year but may require two years for the first-time teacher.  Upon completion of Latina Christiana I and II, students will be prepared to begin the high school Henle text at the beginning of 6th grade or even sooner.
