This review is from: Lingua Latina per se Illustrata: Latin-English Vocabulary I (Paperback)

I have studied many Latin books and Hans Orberg has done a great job with his Lingua Latina program. His books are published and used in Denmark but specially prepared for use in North America. This little vocabulary book is just part of a whole program for learning Latin on your own or teaching it to your kids. It is such a good program that I am actually a little freaked out at how much Latin I can understand and read just by following this course. It is something I can really stick to and finish!
