My wife and I are both wanting to learn Latin (and later, Greek, but first things first).
I took a year of college Latin using Wheelock's 6th edition (I still have my copy). She has very little Latin experience (she knows some Latin prayers). We've been trying to start out with the Dowling method, but it can get quite tedious around the 4th declension.
We're also going to be starting our homeschooled 1st grader out with Prima Latina from Memoria Press this next fall. We are tentatively planning on keeping her with their texts (with supplements). Which means eventually buying Henle Latin when older.
So, after having lurked around on this site for years, I have registered and I'm asking for advice as to how to proceed to learn Latin
1. Follow Dowling + Lingua Latina, no matter how painful it seems now.
2. Get a normal textbook, and just do that (probably Wheelock or Henle)
3. Get a normal textbook, but work in Lingua Latina as a supplement.
If you suggest 2 or 3, what book would be best to use.
Thanks in advance for all of the great advice!
