Today we come to the present indicative passive verbs. These are verbs in which the subject receives the action. The person or thing doing the action is put in the ablative case.
Our normal routine is for all of us to chant the noun and verb endings and memorize any new endings. Then the little ones drop out, and the older ones and I read the lesson together.We watch the video together. Then we get out our charts and vocabulary lists and translate together. Since I am learning Latin along with them, the only way I have to verify that we are correct is to refer to the charts. Then we translate, inflecting all the words. Then everyone reviews the vocabulary on quizlet.
This takes time, so take the time it takes.

Time for true confessions. I don't know Latin. I am learning it along with my kids. The amazing thing to me is that this time we are actually getting it. My 9th grader and 11th grader and I sit around the table inflecting all the words and translating the passages. For someone who has tried at least three other times to learn Latin and failed, this is wonderful. My younger ones are just chanting the charts. I figure it will make it easier for them when they actually get to translating.
Latin is work, but it's fun work.
This week we get into first and second declension adjectives. If you memorized your first and second declension nouns, this won't be much of a problem. The endings are alike.
Inflecting all the words is very important. You have to be able to decline and conjugate, or you have no idea what the sentence is saying. Take the time to inflect what you are translating, and it will really help you. The videos that are on this site are a real help to us too.
Assignments:
Read the chapter
Print out the charts to refer to if you need to when you're translating.

This lesson covers the third and fourth conjugation in the present tense. It is really not that hard. Once you get the personal endings down, the conjugations are pretty much the same. Just try to memorize their differences. The third conjugation includes those verbs whose present indicative active form ends in -ere. The fourth conjugation includes those whose present indicative form ends in-īre.

Lesson 4 adds the second conjugation of verbs. You need to chant these every day, along with first and second declension verbs. There is no other way to get this other than rote memory. Use whatever method works best for you to memorize, but do it. You can't proceed until this is done.
The younger kids just do the chants. The middle school and high school to all of the assignments.
Assignments:
Read the chapter
Chant the first and second conjugations
Chant the first declension
Use quizlet to help you memorize the vocabulary. Review through section 49. (Card sets are numbered according to the section in the book that they correspond to.)
Look at the list of common prepositions. You need to know which ones go with which case.
Inflect all the words in section 45.
Do the translation at the end of the chapter. Preferably, do it orally. The best way to do it is to tell the meaning, tense, mood, voice, person and number of each word. That way you make sure you really know it.
Wow! That's a lot of work. But if you want to be able to read Latin, you have to do the work. Hang in there.

Lesson Three: The First Conjugation. Present Active Indicative. The Accusative Case.
One of the hard things about learning Latin for me is that I am not a grammar person. Learn enough grammar to get by has always been my motto. But that doesn't work when you're trying to learn a foreign language. So on top of learning Latin, I have to learn grammar. You probably already know grammar, but since I had to relearn it, I listed below some of the things the book assumes you know.
1. You conjugate verbs. You decline nouns.
2. To conjugate means to give the different forms of (a verb in an inflected language) as they vary according to voice, mood, tense, number, and person.
Transitive - active verb
Personal endings - endings that show person
Principal parts of verbs - see links below
Inflect - conjugate or decline
Assignment Read the chapter
Memorize the first conjugation.
Memorize the model verb
Inflect section 38. (Do all the conjugating and declining in section 38)
Memorize rule 3
Do the translating
This is what I expect out of my middle schoolers and high schoolers. My younger children will just chant the conjugations and model verbs.

My past attempts at learning Latin have been marginal. But I have learned at least a few things from my failure.
1. There is no learning a language without hard work. I don't care what kind of sales pitch they give you, it takes work and discipline to learn Latin.
2. If you don't memorize everything, you will fall by the wayside quickly. Learning Latin is comprehensive. Each lesson builds on the previous lesson. Make sure you understand everything and have memorized all the declensions and conjugations and vocabulary before proceeding.
3. Children do not do well at this on their own. You have to be involved in their learning, or it won't happen.
Thankfully, young children memorize well. This means that you should be able to adapt the teaching of Latin to all ages.
After multiple attempts to teach my children Latin, I've come to the conclusion they will not learn unless I learn along with them. So here we go. We are all learning together. Every resource listed will be free and online.
The first couple of days will be spent in review because we have already done some Latin.
