To currant middle - high school students in US, I have a question about declension order.
What is the declension order in the text book at your school? Does anyone know what is the declension order in this book -- "Latin for Americans" by B. L. Ullman ?
The declension order in LLPSI is nominative, accusative, genitive, dative and ablative. But the one that seems to rule on internet is this: N-G-D-Ac-Ab.
Inceptor linguae Latinae sum. Latine scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar.
(I'm Latin beginner. I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction.)

From its table of contents, it looks like it's: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative.

This is the order taught by teachers and textbooks in Italy, plus the vocative between the accusative and the ablative cases.
Also, this is the order shown in the film "Dead Poets Society" during the Latin class scene:
N - 
B2 (working towards C1) - Learning 
- Dabbling in

Gratias for your helpful comment and the references!!

Salve,
this Youtube article on the Case system (which is what I think you mean, although I get why you referred to it as declension) will help explain that there are different orders for cases depending on where in the world you are learning. The whole latintutorial Youtube channel is a great resource.
Personally I have found that most of the useful online info uses the American order (N- G- D- A-A) and that is what I tend to go with, and adjust when I use things like LLPSI
Vale!

Salve, Colinius,
Gratias!! It makes sense calling that "case system", as they call "i nominativus, (casus) accsativus[/i]...
Also thanks for the youtube video. It's really a well made channel.
Vale!
