Trillium,
That is definitely Latin for Americans. It's been in publication forever and a day and I've taught out of two editions. The current editions have a red first book, a green second book, and a blue third book. The edition right before this one is dark red, mustard yellow, blue.
My DD can handle LFA just fine. But it's dry, dense, vertical grammar with little care given to motivating struggling students. (Our DC wouldn't struggle - this is a critique on using it in public schools.) Vertical grammar is "old school." It's arbitrary to teach 1st declension before 2nd, etc. That isn't really how brains acquire a second language. It feels like work. I'm interested to hear your comments on LFA if you ebay for it... my brighter and cleverer students have all sorts of inside jokes based on the readings.
without wax,
