Challenge I brings the full Henle First Year sequence into view, joining cumulative vocabulary with the grammar needed for increasingly connected translation.

The Classical Conversations guide assigns Henle First Year vocabulary week by week. 28 of the 30 weeks have vocabulary lists mapped here; the other 2 have no new mapped list. Reading, grammar or assessment may still be assigned. Several lessons are often assigned in the same week; the heaviest week is week 1, with 112 words.
Across the 488 words the list is 164 verbs, 161 nouns, 59 adjectives, 44 adverbs, 22 prepositions, 16 conjunctions, 14 pronouns, 2 phrases, 2 adverbial phrases, 1 particle, 1 interjection, 1 verb phrase and 1 participle. The forms a student meets most: 3rd-declension nouns (61), 3rd-conjugation verbs (57), 2nd-declension nouns (47), 1st-conjugation verbs (41), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (37), 1st-declension nouns (32). Every word is on its lesson page with its English meaning, part of speech and form, and a few of the sentences Amplio uses to drill it.
Challenge I asks students to carry earlier vocabulary into a wider range of constructions. Familiar words return inside passive sentences, infinitive expressions and clauses whose relationships take time to untangle. The practical goal is not to know a separate English answer for every possible form. It is to recognise the entry behind the form and explain what the sentence asks that form to do. That shift frees attention for the meaning of a whole passage.
The opening part of the reference schedule moves quickly across material from earlier Challenge levels. Use that return to identify weak foundations rather than assuming every old word is secure. Third-declension stems, pronoun reference and unpredictable principal parts are productive places to check. Later lists give greater prominence to irregular adjectives, third-conjugation -iō verbs, indirect statements and deponents. The linked lesson notes address those actual entries without promising that one vocabulary page contains every rule being discussed that week.
Read the week table across as well as down. Several early weeks include multiple lessons, while some later lessons recur as the reading develops. The table links only vocabulary-bearing pages, so gaps in lesson numbers are not broken links or evidence that the textbook has been shortened. A week with no new mapped entries may still carry review or assessment. Consult the current guide for the full assignment and use this page to locate the relevant word lists efficiently.
When a translation resists a first reading, ask the student to mark the finite verb, then identify the subject and the boundaries of any dependent clause. Use the dictionary entry to settle an unfamiliar stem or construction before rearranging the English. If every attempt becomes a search for remembered English wording, pause and return to the Latin evidence. A sound explanation of one sentence is more informative than several fluent answers copied without understanding. Bring the uncertain relationship to seminar, along with the attempted reading.
At home, combine a focused vocabulary check with regular reading instead of letting either displace the other. Keep a small list of forms that looked unfamiliar even though their headwords were known. Revisit those forms after an interval and check whether the entry now comes to mind. Students joining at this level can use the same process to locate gaps, with their parent and director setting a realistic course of review. These pages offer a reference and specific study advice; your course materials remain the source of the complete grammar and translation work.
Amplio is paced to the Classical Conversations schedule: pick your Challenge level and it shows the words assigned for the current week, then drills them with spaced repetition until they stick.
Start freeThe Henle Year 1 index groups the same vocabulary by lesson rather than week. Print the pages needed for review and annotate the entries whose forms caused trouble. Henle Year 1 lesson index.
The stored schedule reaches Lesson 42 and includes the vocabulary-bearing lessons across the book. The index preserves gaps where this reference has no separate list.
Use a placement conversation with the director and parent to plan the work. These early lesson lists can reveal vocabulary gaps, but they are not a placement assessment.
The opening schedule groups earlier material for cumulative work. Follow all the links in the row, then consult the guide for the full reading and exercise assignment.
Check whether a perfect or participial form brings its headword to mind. Keep the forms missed in actual reading in a focused review pile.
A deponent typically uses passive-looking forms with an active meaning. Read the complete entry and its construction rather than assigning passive English from the ending alone.
The Henle Year 1 index links every available lesson list. Open and print the lessons you need; no account is required to read them.
