Review
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! --C.G. Brown, University of Kentucky
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. --Robert Patrick, Parkview High School (Gwinnett County Public Schools)
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. --Mark Dawson, Liberty Classical Academy, Maplewood, MN

Format:Paperback
This is a list of important resources for self-learners, through Pars I-Familia Romana; followed by critical remarks concerning the later chapters of the book, and the passage into Pars II-Roma Aeterna:
(Since reviewers are prohibited from giving more than 10 product links per review, I shall note only the ISBN numbers for some of the volumes mentioned; all are available on Amazon.)
1. This has been mentioned in other reviews--the exercise book for Vol I: ISBN1585102121. Numerous 'fill-in-the-blank'-type exercises, that have been very well designed; they really help consolidate the material introduced in each chapter.
2. The answer key to all the end-of-chapter drills (the Pensa), and exercise books, for *both* Vol.1 Familia Romana, and Vol.2 Roma Aeterna: ISBN1585100749. Indispensable for self-learners.
3. Audiobook/CD-ROMs: Řrberg himself has recorded the first 31 chapters of Pars I (There are 35 in total), which recordings have been released by Focus Publishing in two different formats: The first ten chapters are available as an audio cd (Lingua Latina: Latine Audio (Audio CD ONLY) Chapters 1-10 only from "Familia Romana" (Latin Edition) (Pt. 1)); which I believe is enough to get a sense of what the language is supposed to sound like. The remaining 21 chapters are available, as mp3 files, only in cd-rom editions of the series, of which there are several releases.
The release for Mac OS X, (Lingua Latina: (MAC OS X) CD-Rom of Familia Romana, Roma Aeterna, Excertia Latina I & II & Grammatica Latina (Latin Edition)) contains all recordings, exercise books for both parts of the text, and both parts of the text itself. In the PC edition, the same material has been spread out to 4 CD-ROMS (the editions are priced accordingly; each PC volume is 1/4 the price of the complete set for Mac). For the text of Pars I, the interactive Pensa, and the sound recordings, see: Lingua Latina: (PC/CD-ROM) Pars I: Familia Romana-Interactive CD Rom (Latin Edition). Exercise book for Pars I: Lingua Latina CD: Exercitia Latina I (Latin Edition). For Roma Aeterna: Lingva Latina: Interactive Latin Course, Pars II: Roma Aeterna (PC) (Lingua Latina) (Latin Edition); and Lingua Latina: Exercitia Latina II (PC/CD-ROM) (Latin Edition) (No. 2).
It is *essential* to the study of Latin, to have a correct sense of how the language is pronounced. While this may sound like a truism, what is at stake in pronouncing Latin correctly is more than just elegance; often the proper declension of a word is conveyed through the duration of vowels--and in a completely inflected language like Latin, word order is of *no* help in determining the meaning of an unintelligibly declined word. Besides, Latin verse is meant to be read aloud; so having some understanding of correct pronunciation really is a prerequisite to enjoying a huge portion the literature. Thus, the audio component of Lingua Latina is very highly recommended.
(Having said that, I should add the following: The accents of Latin are not at all as difficult as those of Greek: There are no 'tonic' accents, no 'rough and smooth breathings', and the like; there are, as in English, stressed and unstressed syllables, but there are also long and short vowels--the long vowels in *all* cases, are indicated by Řrberg, via 'macrons'. For the *beginning student*, these are of fundamental importance; without the appropriate macrons, it is all too easy to conflate conjugations. Academic editions, on the other hand, such as the OCT, as well as the Loeb Library, do not go through the trouble of notating macrons for their Latin publications (while Greek enjoys that privilege to the full)--that omission might be tolerable for advanced students, but again, for the beginner, macrons and pronunciation are *vital*. One may also note that Řrberg's pronunciation does not *fully* confirm to the guidelines set by the standard work on the subject, Sidney Allen's Vox Latina (ISBN9780521379366); most notably, he ignores the nasalized 'final m'. I cannot help but think, however, that this was entirely intentional, and that Řrberg wanted to eliminate a fine, but to the beginner's ear, unessential and potentially confusing feature in the interests of simplicity. A more recent work on Latin as a spoken language is Clive Brooks's "Reading Latin Poetry Aloud" (ISBN9780521874496); this book comes with two audio CDs, containing slightly more than 2 hours of Latin poetry--'classic' as well as medieval. The list price is too high ['hardcover academic title with 2 cds' is always a good excuse, apparently, to charge for 'an arm and a leg']; but look for used/like-new offers from Marketplace sellers; it's possible to get a practically new copy for one sixth the list price.)
4. Additional Reading Material: Řrberg has edited several readers for the benefit of students who have finished Familia Romana (links provided below); as an accompaniment to chapters 1-24 of this first part, however, he has also written a short reader, the Colloquia Personarum (Lingua Latina: Colloquia Personarum).
Focus has also published a successor volume to the Colloquia Personarum, the 'Fabulae Syrae' by Luigi Miraglia (ISBN: 9781585104284). Not only is the text beautifully written in 'Řrbergian' style, but also the edition has all the standard features of the series: Fully notated macrons, rich marginal notes, etc. It's indispensable extra-reading material, while working through the last few chapters of Familia Romana.
A similar publication by Focus is "Epitome Historiae Sacrae"; the text is that of an older series of simplified 'stories from the bible', this edition has all the standard 'student-friendly' features of other 'Lingua Latina' publications. I think that this is a lot less essential than the 'Fabulae Syrae', though. The ISBN is: 9781585104253.
To be read right after Familia Romana--abridged/annotated editions of Caesar and Plautus: ISBN1585102326 (Caesar); ISBN8799701677 (Plautus); the 'Sermones Romani', a collection of heavily edited excerpts from major Latin authors ISBN8790696077.
5. A handy little booklet that contains grammar charts: ISBN1585102237
6. This one is not by Řrberg; the Barrons' book of 501 Latin Verbs--ISBN0764137425. Latin verbs are a little tough, and the different root forms of verbs (through the last third of Familia Romana) are about the only thing Řrberg wants to have the student 'memorize'--but see below for more on verbs.
7. And these are highly informative and readable sources on the history of Latin, for enthusiasts who do not have expert knowledge in linguistics: Latin Alive Latin Alive: The Survival of Latin in English and the Romance Languages; for speakers of French, Spanish, or Italian, a book that consists of sound charts, tracking how Latin mutated into these 'Romance Languages': From Latin to Romance in Sound Charts; for a very broad historical survey: A Natural History of Latin.
There are also excellent, authoritative online resources for more advanced students; the *immensely* rich Perseus library at Tufts University foremost--which, by the way, is an open source project, and also offers xml versions of their bewilderingly large collection of primary and secondary literature in Latin and Greek. The Philologic project at the University of Chicago also includes an implementation of the Perseus library, which is offered in a simpler interface. Both websites feature very user-friendly editions of the famous Lewis & Short dictionary; as well as morphological tools, word frequency statistics (with detailed citation lists), and so on. German speakers may want to check out 'Lateinseiten.de' as well, especially their 'Konjugator' applet. Lastly, the official website of the Vatican has a complete 'Latin edition', with a large collection of chiefly 'scriptural' texts. (Just 'google' for these websites.)
Now, some general remarks on Familia Romana: This book provides by no means a 'magical' method that teaches Latin with little effort on the part of the student; to the contrary, it is quite challenging, and as far as the grammatical foundations of the language are concerned, extremely thorough. Despite what some other reviewers have suggested, neither does the book have the least pretension, as to teaching Latin the way children pick up their first language; *that's not what is meant by 'natural method'*.
Every single word of the 'story' in this book has been picked with an amazingly precise sense of where the student is coming from, and in which direction, and in what manner, he or she needs to be guided. (See below for more on this. Read more ›

Format:Paperback
The book 'Lingua Latina: Familia Romana' is the first of a series of texts by the Natural Method Language Institutes designed to introduce the reader to Latin in a natural progression - there are few charts and boxes in this book, as it is not the typical Latin grammar. From the very start, this book is a reader, in many ways similar to the early childhood readers with which young readers gain an understanding of language. Page one does not start with a description of nouns, verbs, or other parts of speech; but rather with simple sentences - 'Roma in Italia est. Italia in Europa est.' And it proceeds from there.
Readers learn Latin in a progression, as the readings get more complex very slowly, introducing new vocabulary, verb tenses, declensions, word order, etc. along the way. In addition to the introduction to the language, the reader gets an introduction to the Roman culture and history - this first volume looks at family matters and basic household items and ideas, in addition to very general facts about Rome, such as the fact that it is in Italy, which is in turn in Europe.
There is a sidebar along each page that helps to expand the pieces of language - however, this is all done in Latin. There are no English (or German, or any other language) explanations - all is done in Latin, just as in early childhood readers for children, all of the other notations are likewise in the same language as the primary text.
There are twenty sections (XX), in addition to a vocabulary list at the back of the book. There are line-art drawings and maps throughout that help to explain the vocabulary and action (as there are no English definitions, the pictures become crucial in many instances toward understanding the text - again, much in the way children's books use pictures to explain the new words introduced).
This is a book that children could use to learn Latin; however, it is also a great way for adults to learn - it is fun, and it seems remarkably easy (rather than the chore of lists of declensions, conjugations and vocabulary words that can often seem lifeless in their required memorisation). You'll be amazed at how quickly and easily the rudiments of Latin can be grasped. While this process can only go so far into the language, it is a great introduction; this text and the subsequent volumes by Hans H. Oerberg are a fascinating and accessible way to gain a useful working knowledge of Latin.

This book pulled me into the study of Latin. I read the
first two pages at the author's lingua-latina website in
Denmark, and was lured by the way it allowed me to read a
purely Latin text. It's addictive. The Latine Disco and
Exercitia Latina were great additions, as was the
CD with MP3s of the chapters being read.
Once in a while, the book would subtly pre-introduce
something. These made sense in context but it was a little
unnerving to see them but not have them explained. The
Latine Disco, though sufficient, is terse and could probably
benefit from expansion.
I lost my routine after Chapter 16, and have yet to get
back. I have since discovered the LatinStudy mailing list
and joined a beginning Wheelock group. For a new student on
his own, the community of an online group is fantastic, and
the translation and real quotes in Wheelock are missing from
LL. But Familia Romana is fun, and there is something
simply beautiful about the book. Try the first few pages
and see if you don't have to read it.
