Latin for Children, Primer A (Latin Edition)
People have been studying Latin for a long time...Did you know that for nearly 2,000 years most boys and girls going to school in Europe studied Latin (and usually Greek too!)when they were young students?  Children learned Latin because Latin was spoken by so many people, and because many good books were written in Latin.The Latin language has been so popular for the last 2,000 years that many other languages have borrowed words from Latin!  Did you know that about 5 out of every 10 English words come from a Latin word?  When you learn Latin, you are also learning a good bit of English.  Here is an example: If I said, "Let ME DEMONSTRATE how the AQUARIUM IS a HABITAT for this TURTLE," we would discover that 6 out of the 12 words (capitalized) in this sentence are from Latin words.I hope you can see that learning Latin words will be very interesting and enjoyable.  It will take some hard work, however, like anything that is really worth learning.  We will do all that we can to make learning Latin enjoyable, and help you to clearly understand everything we teach you, step by step.
