Hans Orberg

Lingua Latina is a complete, universal series that allows students to read and understand Latin immediately. Part 1, Familia Romana, covers the essentials of Latin grammar and vocabulary through a story of a Latin family in the 2nd century A.D.; part 2, Roma Aeterna, covers Roman history and the city of Rome.

Familia Romana

Hans H. Ørberg

This text is for a first year Latin course and uses the immersion approach; students learn Latin by using only Latin. The thirty-five chapters describe the life of a Roman family in the 2nd century A.D. and culminate in readings from classical poets.

I am leading/teaching a beginner Latin class using this book, and it's remarkable. We read aloud in class but do not translate into English unless there is a passage that someone has trouble with. In the first day, I had a guy with no Latin background whatsoever reading (very simple!) Latin and answering questions about it in Latin.
