Greetings!
I just found this site about 2 weeks ago and I am looking for some guidance. I will be teaching my son (10) Latin and then Greek. 
I have a very basic knowledge of Latin, mostly vacabulary and root work. I am not sure where to start and how to get things rolling. I am not starting till January but I am trying to do little things here and there as âwarm-upsâ for him. I also want to get a good deal done myself in the books so I have a better knowledge of how to teach/help. Since this is my first time teaching a language, I need the input of the well-versed to help steer me. I think this forum will be great and I am hoping I can get some ideas. Please feel free to give me any advice. I am still undecided if I should use the texts I have dowloaded from here or another set-up. Please give me some honest guidance on what you recommend. Thank you in advance. 
I think Orbergâs Lingua Latina is your best bet. It starts off really simple and the stories should be able to keep your son interested (from what Iâm told⌠actually I donât have it myself!). The one I have is Cambridge Latin courseâsame idea but a little harder to track down.
Just to start with, try âLatin with Laughterâ by Mrs. Sydney Frankenburg illustrated by Dorothy H. Rowe, 1931 (I notice Alibris has a copy). Itâs really for younger kids of former times but itâs the best introduction to Latin Iâve ever come across.
Cheers,

Faithful8, This older book has good advice. WHS Jones, Via Nova or The Application of the Direct Method to Latin and Greek (Cambridge, 1915) may be found at http://www.archive.org/details/vianovaorapplica00jonerich in the Internet Archive site
oh, and when he is ready donât forget that you can get lots of fun story books in Latinâthere are several Dr. Seuss ones, Paddington Bear, Winnie the Pooh, and even Harry Potter.
