oh this is jolly good, i'm going to make sarah and ariel read minimus. well done, cambridge up!

i quite like the way they don't make you go through the traditional paradigms, just the ones you need in english, to start with.

from the minimus website:

Minimus: Starting out in Latin is a unique course for 7-10 year olds, providing a lively introduction to the Latin language and the culture of Roman Britain with a highly illustrated mix of comic strips, stories and myths.

The course centres on a real family who lived at Vindolanda in 100AD: Flavius, the fort commander, his wife Lepidina, their three children, assorted household slaves, their cat Vibrissa - and Minimus the mouse! It features many of the artefacts and writing tablets from the Vindolanda excavation
