Why doesn Latins Not So Tough! teach the standard noun and verb paradigms and grammatical terms?
This series is intended for use with young children. In the pattern of our Hey, Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek! series, we purposely refrain from introducing grammatical terms and paradigm memorization until the fourth level (although the paradigms are available in the appendix of Level Three). When the student reaches mid-elementary age, he/she is ready to incorporate grammatical terms, both English and Latin, into his/her understanding of the language. Level Four focuses on the paradigms of Latin declensions and conjugations. Students are encouraged to apply these patterns of endings to their ever-expanding Latin vocabulary.
