Just starting FFL...dd previously used classical pronunciation...

[Mommy7]

She learned about 100 vocabulary words in classical pronunciation from a different program. Should she re-learn those words in ecclesiastical pronunciation as that is what we will be continuing with?

I wouldn't be too concerned about pronunciation. After all, Latin isn't a spoken language these days. I'd just go forward from here. I would say that you might want to forgo using the cd since you've already mastered one pronunciation style, but you would lose the oral repetition of the words and forms that really help students to retain them, so that's probably not a good idea.

I hope this transition doesn't prove too difficult for you.

Regards,

Mommy 7,

I wouldn't worry about it either, I've taught in both systems, and have taught kids coming from the one to the other, and after a couple of weeks tripping all over ourselves we switch with no trouble... just decide you're going to laugh about it, and it goes smooth. If we lived in a world where there were no useless calories then you could decide to have a donut every time you said a word correctly in the new pronunciation style... but then... that's not the world we live in is it... ~sigh
