Speak the language, not just pass the test

The focus of Power-Glide Latin is to help you speak freely and expressively in Latin. You won't find mazes of grammar rules, boring rote memorization, and mind-numbing drills. Instead, Power-Glide Latin gives you real language learning---the kind where you actually internalize the language, and begin to use it as your own. Robert W. Blair, Ph.D., is the creator of Power-Glide language courses. His methods are informed by current language acquisition theory and rooted in the work of world-renowned language teaching innovators. These methods provide a rich experience in communication and make the course fun and engaging.

Power-Glide Latin Junior Adventure Course

For Learners K - 5th Grade


Designed to help children understand and communicate

The Power-Glide Latin Junior course was designed for children K - 5th grade. Course activities are designed specifically with these learners in mind and include matching games, story telling, speaking, drawing, creative thinking, acting, and guessing--all things which children do for fun.


Give your child the benefits of learning a second language

Research has shown that children who learn a second language do better in school, get higher test and SAT scores, go on to better colleges, and have the added job opportunities that only come with knowing a second language. Furthermore, a considerable amount of research has shown that learning a second language in childhood helps children learn to read and write their native language.

Based on natural learning principles

When children learn their native language in early childhood, it is not through the study of grammar rules and vocabulary lists. Rather, they learn the words for things around them simply by listening to others. They intuitively grasp an amazing amount of grammar and syntax. By using activities that simulate natural language acquisition, it is not only possible, but normal for children to learn a new language quickly and enjoy doing it!


Puzzles, games, stories, music

The Latin Junior course includes multi-sensory activities for all types of learners. Instead of using boring rote memorization and mind-numbing drills, this course gets children excited about communicating in another language. The adventure story, the variety of learning activities, and the simplified teaching methods are all designed to make learning interesting and fun.


What your child will learn

Children who complete this course can expect to understand an impressive amount of Latin, including several common Latin phrases, some complete Latin sentences, numbers, colors, body parts, and instructions for drawing and acting given in Latin. They will also be able to understand stories told all or mostly in Latin, to re-tell these stories using Latin themselves, and to make up stories of their own using words and sentence patterns they have learned. After completion, your children will be well prepared to continue learning at a more advanced level, and they will have the foundation that will make learning at that level just as fun and interesting as in this course.
