Lingua Latina is a complete immersion course providing Latin that students read and understand immediately. Every sentence is intelligible per se because the meaning and function of all new word forms is clear from the context, illustrations, or marginal notes throughout this carefully graded text.Part 1 (Familia Romana) is the eventful and entertaining story of a Roman family, which also serves as an introduction to the life and culture of ancient Rome.Students first learn grammar and vocabulary intuitively through extended contextual reading and an innovative system of marginal notes. It is the only textbook currently available that gives students the opportunity to learn Latin without resorting to translation, but allows them to think in the language. It is also the most popular text for teachers, at both the secondary and collegiate levels, who wish to incorporate conversational skills into their classroom practice.After having studied Familia Romana, students should master Latin grammar and have a vocabulary of almost 1,800 words. Students who have completed Part 1 are already able to read classical texts, such as Ørberg’s editions of Caesar’s Gallic Wars or of Plautus’ Amphitryo.This book is followed by Part 2 (Roma Aeterna), which tells Roman history from the beginnings. In Part 2, students read extensive selections from classical authors, refine their knowledge of syntax, and develop a vocabulary of over 4000 words. Upon completion of the course, students can read the most challenging classical texts with relative ease.Other books you can use together with this book:• Pars I: Latine Disco: Student’s Manual (in English).
