Second Edition Lingua Angelica introduces your students to translation in a systematic and doable method. Christian Latin should always be the first step in learning to translate Latin literature because it has shorter, simpler sentences and clearer word structure than classical authors. Just like you wouldn't study calculus before you learn algebra, you shouldn't approach Caesar, Cicero, or Virgil before you conquer Christian Latin. As Cheryl Lowe put it, "Christian Latin is infinitely easier to read than classical authors, so why would you start anywhere else?" The Student Book provides facing vocabulary, space for interlinear translation, and grammar word study exercises. This book is designed to be used with the sold-separately Lingua Angelica Teacher's Guide and the Lingua Angelica Music CD. From Memoria Press. Learn More
