I never learned this in school and selfishly want to start teaching this to my homeschooled children so I can learn with them. What age do you think is appropriate to start learning Latin? Also, do you have a specific program or book you recommend for teaching to younger children (4 and 6yo)?

As a Classical Conversations mom, I’ve been thinking about this very thing. I came to the same conclusion. It pains me to say it because I love so much about CC, but I may be done after Essentials. “If you are teaching children Latin, you are by necessity NOT teaching them something else.” So true, and CC dedicates an insane amount of time to Latin in the upper grades. Maybe it will be right for my daughter, but I know it’s not for my son. Thanks for your thoughts on this topic!
