In the Henle Series, grammar and syntax are collected into a separate 250 page Grammar Manual, which is used as a handy reference to accompany all four years of Henle. The Henle texts contain all of the exercises and readings.  In the First Year text, a limited vocabulary of 500 words allows students to master grammar without being overwhelmed with a large vocabulary.  Many repetitious Latin phrases and copious exercises produce mastery rather than frustration, and the mixture of Christian and classical content is appealing to students.  Exercises and readings teach Roman and American history and the difference between the pagan and Christian world views, between the virtues of the natural man (of whom the Roman was the greatest type) and the virtues of the Christian man, which are possible only through grace. 

     Henle is a Catholic text, but its superiority as a teaching resource and the outstanding benefits of its Christian perspective far outweigh the very occasional picture or reference that a Protestant might wish to ignore.

"The readings are a rich collection from both classical and Christian authors. The explanations are thorough, easy to understand, and appealing."

"I tried to do Wheelock, but frankly it just overwhelmed me.  I am now doing Henle (with Cheryl's outline) and am finding it much more doable.  For what it's worth..."

"I recommend Henle, hands down. Wheelock (which I also have and tried to use to teach myself) is much more overwhelming. Henle keeps the vocabulary low so you can really concentrate on the grammar, which I think is brilliant; Wheelock piles on the vocabulary without lightening up on the grammar. Henle also provides more practice. And, finally, after LC, Henle is perfect because much of the vocabulary will be familiar already; the transition to Henle is easier than the transition to Wheelock would be. My kids and I are using Henle with no difficulties (and the Henle Latin list is very helpful for our rare questions) and enjoying the process."

"Personally, I love Henle. If it were me, I would consider using it for the 8th grader using Cheryl Lowe's study guide. She takes it real slow and adds a few things that are helpful, like when and how to make flashcards and study them, recording derivatives, etc. Latin finally makes sense to me after studying even just a little from this text. I have to add a disclaimer though :) I have only been really doing the Latin thing for about a year. We made several false starts before that and have tried several curriculums along the way before we actually made any real progress, which came for me when I started using Henle.... I am so not an expert, but I think Henle is the best."
