About Latin Alive! Book 1 Revised Edition
The new, full-color revised edition of Latin Alive! Book 1 (LA1) retains the excellent teaching of grammar and derivatives from the original edition while incorporating exercises and instructions that invite students to speak, listen, draw, and even move to their Latin lessons. This revised edition emphasizes an approach to language learning that draws from a variety of pedagogical tools taken from the best of the traditional focus on grammar as well as from the immersion method.
Students will encounter a wide range of exercise types, from fill-in-the-blank to conjugation and parsing to those that offer a multidisciplinary approach, in a book that has been restructured from 29 chapters to 23 chapters to better fit within the three-book Latin Alive! series.
