Lingua Angelica Set Christian Latin Reading Program

Lingua Angelica is an excellent Christian Latin reading and translation course. The CD contains 4 Latin prayers and 24 Latin hymns beautifully sung by a 6 voice a capella choir. The student book provides facing vocabulary, space for interlinear translation, and grammar word study exercises. In addition to well written instructions on how to use the course, the teacher manual contains a complete copy of the student book with answers to make the teacher's job easier. A song book is also included in the set with the musical scores and short histories for each piece. All 4 Latin prayers and 12 Latin hymns are covered in Lingua Angelica I. Lingua Angelica introduces your students to translation in a systematic and "do-able" 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. Set contains a student book, teacher's manual, song book, and music cd.
