Description
This is the CD
Rom version of the book Lingua Latina: Familia Romana Part I.
Hans Ørberg’s
Lingua Latina per se illustrate 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.
Familia Romana is the backbone of
the Ørberg series. The text can be
paired with any number of additional readers and study materials designed
specifically to accompany this text and available directly from Focus
Publishing.
Contents of the CD-Rom:
1.) the complete text of Familia Romana
2.) an audio-recording of chapters I-XXXI
3.) a full interactive version of the Pensa
Start by
reading the Latin text while listening to the recording. Then read and reread each lesson (marked I,I,
III in the margin) and study the section Grammatica Latina carefully, before
you pass on to the Pensa.
