Description
Full-color
edition. 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.
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.
Features

comprehensive treatment of Latin grammar available in an elementary textbook.

online.

enhanced by using Lingua Latina.
