Latin
Memrise/Clozemaster
Lingua Latina Per se Illustrata Pars 1 Familia Romana by Hans Ørberg
Exercitia Latina I: Exercises for Familia Romana (Lingua Latina) by Hans Ørberg
Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Teachers' Materials & Answer Keys by Hans Ørberg
Lingua Latina A companion to Familia Romana by Jeanne Marie Neumann
The Teachers Manual and Exercise Workbook arrived. The Teachers Manual has the same questions as what is in the textbook with answers while the exercise book includes its own answers. There are a lot of exercises which is exactly what I was looking for. I've been dissatisfied with most of my other Latin sources and I think this particular set of books is what I needed.
Even though I had done some of the exercises from Pensvm A-C I redid all of them for the repetition. From the exercise book I did Ex 1-5. I also re-read cap 1 from the textbook and chapter 1 of the companion book. I'm likely to be doing more repetition with Latin as I find the grammar more difficult than in other languages. The exercise book has a lot of fill in the blanks to answer but I'm writing the complete sentences out because it helps me to remember the spelling.
Cap 1 primarily covers the different singular/plural/gender endings. It briefly covers numbers. Goal for the week is to complete the rest of the chapter 1 exercises and review vocabulary though I don't believe there were any unknown words for this chapter. Once completed I'll continue on with chapter 2.
Piedmontese:
Clozemaster
La Lingua piemontese by Bruno Villata (chapter 7-8) <-- 81%
I completed Chapter 7 on adverbs. Because it was so short I also completed Chapter 8 on prepositions. I found this site https://it.wikibooks.org/wiki/Piemontese which I've taken a look at. It has verb conjugation tables which will be more helpful to me. Goal for the week is to read chapter 9 and work on some verb conjugations.
Sicilian:
Memrise
Beginners Siclian by Joseph Privitera (Chapter 6)
I read Chapter 6 and did all of the exercises. The dialog was about ordering food at a restaurant and the grammar covered pronouns. Easy enough. I also reviewed the vocabulary in Memrise. Next up will be Chapter 7.
