Would someone be nice enough to make a forum for Jenny Latin students because there might be many Jenny Latin students who want to talk about topics like in this forum. Thanks.

The general Latin forum can accomodate Jenny’s and whatever other Latin students there are. Considering the low activity levels in the Wheelock’s and M&F forums, which are two of the most popular books, I doubt Jenny’s needs its own forum here. I hope people do not feel like their textbook is inadequate to ask questions about in the general forum, it never occurred to me.
Well, I don’t think it’s really feasible to make a separate forum for all the books that people are using or are interested in. More often than not, the same questions arise from different textbooks. For Latin, there are ample people available to answer practically any question you might pose. Keep in mind that many of the people here have used a variety of texts and are probably familiar with the book you are using. Also, others might benefit form the question even though they are not using the text.
Here’s a suggestion: Use the Learning Latin forum to pose your questions. Cite the text you are using (version, chapter/section number, etc.), quote the question and the Latin along with your comments. Forming the question for someone who’s not reading the text is beneficial in itself. This will elicit a response that will either answer the question or further refine the issue. You might also post a poll question to get an idea of how many are using the text.

I totally agree with Timothy. I use Jenney and whenever I post some sentences I’m stuck on advanced members unintentionally criticize his implied choice of syntax etc.
