We really adore this company and the Latin programs they offer!
We’ve always used Memoria Press Latin.
We reviewed Prima Latina from Memoria Press for my middle girls.

We were ready to begin Latin with Tori and Kate. Kate had been begging to begin Latin. They’re a bit younger than Liz was when she began. Liz was about 8 when she started with Prima Latina. Kate just turned 6 and Tori just turned 7.
This introductory Latin set is recommended for 2nd grade and up. The girls are transitioning into 2nd grade, so it’s great timing!

Kate was super thrilled when this arrived in the mail!
I didn’t tell her it was coming, so it was a great surprise! {I also ordered Tori her own workbook so we could all do it together.}

Here’s the setup:
We didn’t really use the flashcards, but we might review with them after we get farther on in Latin.
The lessons are designed to take about a week:
- Watch the DVD.
- Read and review.
- CD.
- Workbook.
We can do a lesson in a couple days! It’s the first thing the girls want to do each day.

Kitty watches the lessons too. Tori and Kate really like the DVDs. The DVDs are easy to navigate and slides could be printed for note taking. The pronunciation CD is great for extra listening and recitation practice.
Leigh Lowe is a great teacher! {and she sounds like home to me…Southern and all…} I usually sit and watch with the girls to make sure they understand and then we do the workbook exercises together over a couple days.

The girls really enjoyed practicing their Latin practical phrases on their big sister, who has done several years of Latin. We listened to the Lingua Angelica songs and the girls really love those. They’re beautiful and they combine a love of music with a love of language! We love learning the Latin prayers. The girls are so proud of their progress!
I love the emphasis on grammar. This helps them learn the details of English as well! Tori struggles a bit, but Kate is already a strong reader and understands the lessons well.
As a classical educator, this Latin program is comprehensive and fun and we love it. It’s a great introduction to Latin and sets a foundation for serious Latin learning with their other programs. Also, there are great supplements, like this copybook.
This introductory course Prima Latina Complete Set is $90.90.
The set consists of:
- Student Book
- Teacher Manual
- Pronunciation CD
- Instructional DVDs (9 hours!)
- Flashcards

Looks like you cat really enjoyed the Latin lessons too! Great review and pictures!
Thanks! The cats think it’s play time any time we do school on the floor…or sofas.
Loved the pic of your cat joining in! We loved this program as well. Our 7-year-old son found it enjoyable.
I know, right? We have very educated kitties! And the kids and I love Latin. Even Alex watched some of the DVD.
