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

 Rather than packaging or dissecting the language, Lingua Latina makes Latin a living reality from the outset. In seminars and classrooms from George Washington University and elsewhere in the Americas, Australia, Asia, and Europe, I have always found students responsive to this text that respects their intelligence, stimulates their curiosity, and teaches Latin as a language. Equally notable is its effect on teachers. The book can be adapted to virtually any teaching style. It fires the teacher’s imagination and makes the classroom a livelier, more interesting place. Lingua Latina can rekindle an enthusiasm for teaching and disclose unimagined possibilities for students and teachers alike.

Through the years since I began my long teaching career at an experimental high school, where I was encouraged to use many different texts and methods and to report on the effectiveness of each, I have had the opportunity to work for significant periods of time with more than a score of texts. For many years now I have been an advocate of Lingua Latina, and have used it exclusively. Of course I supplement it, as any veteran instructor does a text, with materials I have developed in my own classrooms, but I find that Orberg has anticipated my instructional needs more than any other author of a Latin text has done.

For the instructor coming to this text early in his or her career, the supplemental volumes prepared by Orberg provide more than enough assistance in the form of additional exercises, dialogues, and the like.

I have enjoyed the fellowship of others using this text by belonging to a listserve devoted to it, where ideas and caveats and encouragement can be found at any time. And I treasure the moments when Orberg was a visitor at my school. His patience and erudition are as evident in his book as in his person, and we are proud that he wore our Temple Owl cap with the same enthusiasm as that with which we embraced his text.

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.
