Switching to Artes Latinae, Level II, after Using Another Course for Level I

A common question we hear is, "If I used another first-year Latin course and want to switch to Artes Latinae, where should I begin?"

No first-year Latin course covers exactly the same content as another first-year course. Some objectives covered in one course in the first year are covered in a different course in the second year and vice-versa. Before you start the Level II Artes Latinae course, we recommend that you start with the following Level I materials: Student Books 1 and 2, the Unit Test Booklet, and the Guide to the Unit Tests. (We will give you a 40% discount on these materials if you also buy the Level II course.)

You will need to acquaint yourself with the course by going through the first 42 frames of Unit 1. Then move on to the summary section of Unit 4. See if there is anything in that summary section you are unfamiliar with. (The summary section will refer you back to portions of the text.) Do the frames that cover any unfamiliar material. For extra assurance, take the Level 4 test. For items you miss, go back and cover the appropriate frames.

Then follow the same procedure for each of the remaining units. (Latin II courses typically start with a review of Level I objectives. The procedure outlined here will serve as that review.)

Since you have already covered Level I of another course, you will go through this review fairly quickly. Allow yourself two to three weeks in Level I before starting Level II.
