On teaching with the Lingua Latina series at all different levels of instruction:

"None of Lingua Latina’s competitors achieve the seamless transition from the author’s Latin to ancient Latin authors that is the hallmark of the Ørberg series. When students read unadapted passages from ancient authors in Lingua Latina, they often have the impression that the ancient author’s work is even easier than the Ørberg Latin they are already reading without difficulty. This is because they have been well prepared by the meticulous and almost invisible gradations in Ørberg’s work – ars latet arte sua!"

"The beauty of Lingua Latina Pars II: Roma Aeterna is that Ørberg takes works of Vergil, Ovid, et al and paraphrases them in graded Latin that helps the student transition |to un-adapted texts. The further one goes in the book the more the mix changes from adapted to un-adapted. I consider it a brilliant book to transition from beginner to intermediate Latin."

"I first heard of LL a few months ago. My fellow Latin teacher and I were evaluating various texts with a goal of selecting what text to switch to next year. The folks at Focus Publishing gracious sent me the text with a few other resources (thank-you, Ron).  The more I used LL, the more excited I was to use it more. My own ability to read Latin increased daily as I began to work my way through the text. And as I introduced portions in class, all of us began to feel more confident asking and answering questions directly in Latin.  At first, I did not think it realistic to suggest to my principle that we switch to LL -- too radical. After time, however, I became convinced that no other text would impart a reading knowledge of Latin as well as LL. And so, I first convinced my fellow Latin teacher that LL was superior to (what we were thinking of going to), then I convinced my principle. I am excited to share that our school will begin using Lingua Latina next year with our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders."
