Lingua Latina (Ørberg Latin Series)
First Year Latin Texts
Lingua Latina:
A Universal Latin Series
Lingua Latina is a complete series of Latin texts in the natural method. Studetns approach Latin by reading in Latin from the first day, inferring grammar points as necssary. Because students learn to think in Latin, their readings skills are superior after the full year course taught in Familia Romana. This book is followed by the second year book, Roma Aeterna, which brings students a rich source of unaltered Latin. A new companion to Lingua Latina was published in 2008. This full series is covered on the details page.
