Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is the world's leading series for learning Latin through the Natural Method. This innovative approach enables students to acquire Latin without translation, fostering a mindset to think directly in the language. Students engage with grammar and vocabulary inductively through extensive contextual reading and a unique system of marginal notes, making Latin language acquisition both intuitive and effective.
Familia Romana, the primary book of Pars I in the Lingua Latina per se Illustrata series, is entirely in Latin and features thirty-five detailed chapters. This book vividly narrates the life of a Roman family during the 2nd century A.D., culminating in readings from classical poets and Donatus's Ars Grammatica, a foundational text for Latin education for over a millennium. Each chapter is thoughtfully organized into two or three lessons (lectiones), each followed by a grammar section (Grammatica Latina) and three engaging exercises (Pensa).
With Hans Ørberg's impeccable Latin and clever storytelling, complemented by the vibrant illustrations of Peer Lauritzen, this work stands out as a classic in Latin literature. The book also features essential resources such as a table of declensions, a Roman calendar, and a comprehensive word index (index vocabulorum).
Key Features:
- The most comprehensive treatment of Latin grammar available in an elementary textbook.
- A vocabulary of nearly 1,800 words, reinforced through creative repetition, enhancing learners' potential for later sight reading.
- A complete range of ancillary volumes, exercises, and readers available both in print and online.
- Entirely Latin texts in main books of the series, including Familia Romana (Pars I) and Roma Aeterna (Pars II).
- Additional student guides available from Hackett Publishing Company / Focus, including Latine Disco and A Companion to Familia Romana, offering comprehensive support for learners.
This product is ideal for educators and students at both secondary and collegiate levels who aim to cultivate Latin conversational skills in the classroom. The Lingua Latina series not only equips learners with essential language skills but also enriches their understanding of Roman culture and history.
Explore the world of Latin through Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, and embark on a journey that combines rigorous academic study with engaging storytelling and artistic illustration.
