But I still couldn’t read fluently and resorted to the unnatural way of reading that is often taught with Latin: Here is a thread from last week and here is a thread from a month ago. Since it is written entirely in Latin, Orberg s series can communicate to students regardless of their native tongue. I’m now tackling the second book in the series, which quickly shifts into unadapted texts, which is pretty damn exciting. Near the end of the book A great book, really! What I will say is this: Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Even though it also strengthened my ability to both write and speak in Latin, it was my ability to understand texts and to sight read that was most improved. The results are often disappointing, both for student and teacher.

I’m the kind of person who progresses at their own pace.

The book does get harder quite quickly probably rather too quicklyso students need to be prepared to concentrate oatina use understanding of other languages they’ve learnt. There are close to word families covered, all used in classical Latin. I’ve read through several textbooks Wheelock’s, Ecce Romani, Cambridge in search of an ideal source for layina students, but was always somewhat disappointed until stumbling across Lingua Latina. Audio of Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata read by Hans Ørberg? : latinĮach chapter of the books has some exercises at the end pensawhich help you exercise the vocabulary and grammar of that chapter and also challenge you to use Latin in an active way by asking questions about what you read. That is the reason why this is called the “natural approach”.
