These materials present the essentials of beginning and intermediate Latin morphology. In addition, you can find a summary of the vocabulary for Wheelock's Latin (6th Edition), other vocabulary studies, and some Flash movies for elementary Latin acquisition, including SWAV that combines words and images for vocabulary development.
LatinPraxis is a series of exercises correlated with the same text, using thousands and thousands of short phrases and sentences to help students achieve mastery of vocabulary and forms as well as an immediacy of understanding.
For the theory of this phrase-based approach to second-language-acquisition, read "Upgrading Latin Pedagogy."
You are welcome to use, to improve upon, and to share whatever you may find helpful for teaching or learning Latin. The pdf versions may be especially useful in the creation of handouts: they are formatted to fit the contents on 8.5 x 11 typing paper.
