About this title

From the Back Cover

Hans Ørberg’s Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is the world’s premiere textbook for Learning Latin via the Natural Method. 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.

Lingua Latina incorporates the following features:

• The most comprehensive treatment of Latin grammar available in an elementary textbook
• A vocabulary of almost 1,800 words, reinforced by constant and creatively phrased repetition, vastly expands the potential for later sight reading
• A complete line of ancillary volumes, exercises, and readers both in print and online

Seasoned secondary and college teachers often find their own reading facility enhanced by using Lingua Latina.
