Visual Latin will have your kids laughing in Latin class! This fun series is a combination of short videos and exercises that work together to do three things: give students a strong foundation of English grammar, expand their English vocabulary, and teach them to enjoy reading Latin.
Visual Latin is a bit different from other Latin curriculums in that it wants children to have fun while they learn. Many Latin programs can intimidate or bore students (how tragic!) through lots of memorization. Instead, Visual Latin follows a combination of the natural and traditional learning methods, and emphasizes using the language more than memorizing it. This is why each lesson includes reading and translation from the Latin Vulgate Bible: when kids actually translate Latin for themselves from stories they are familiar with, they are excited by the process and want to learn more.

Dwane’s goal is to teach students to be comfortable with the language so that if they ever want to learn Spanish, French, or Italian (or any other language for that matter), they will have a much easier time doing it. This process has worked for hundreds of children all over the world. We believe it will work well for yours, too.

Last, but certainly not least, Dwane incorporates lots of humor, jokes, and good-natured fun into each lesson. We often have kids asking their parents when they can do their next Latin lesson. (Really!) Although that may seem incredible, we know from experience that kids can love learning Latin.

Visual Latin is designed so that it requires no knowledge of Latin either by the student or the parent administering the class. Just hit play and start learning. Each Latin lesson contains the following three videos and related PDF worksheets: 1) Grammar, 2) Sentences, and 3) Reading.

Latin 1 includes two Intro Lessons and Lessons 1-30. It covers two semesters and can be worth one credit for high school foreign language. Recommended for children 10 and older.
