Minimus, Followed By Cambridge Latin

“Minimus, followed by Cambridge Latin” is a gentle Latin pathway that begins with the cartoon-style Minimus books for younger children and then progresses into the more formal Cambridge Latin Course. Developed by classicists in the UK, Minimus introduces simple Latin and Roman culture through a mouse who lives in a real Roman fort, while Cambridge Latin gradually builds grammar and reading skills through stories. Parents like the story-based approach and clear teacher resources, and the fact that this sequence can carry students from roughly late elementary through high school. Books and guides are an investment, but the multi-year continuity makes this pathway good value for serious Latin study.
