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).
