Summary
El curso de latín LINGVA LATINA PER SE ILLVSTRATA， （‘La lengua latina ilustrada por sí misma’） se compone de dos partes， pars i y ii ， con un índice común， indices。 La primera parte， FAMILIA ROMANA， es la base del curso inicial， que abarca las reglas esenciales de la gramática latina además de incluir un vocabulario básico de unas 1。500 palabras。 Los 35 capítulos constituyen una serie de escenas y episodios de la vida de un familia romana del siglo II d。C。 El libro está escrito totalmente en latín， pero desde el principio hasta el fin el texto está graduado de manera que cada frase sea inteligible por sí misma， per se， porque la significación de todas las palabras nuevas y la función de las formas gramaticales se deducen sin equívoco del contexto， o， si es necesario， de las ilustraciones o de las notas marginales usando el vocabulario ya aprendido。 Así no se necesita consultar un léxico， analizar o traducir para entender el significado。 Tanto el vocabulario como la gramática se aprenden por la observación de gran número de ejemplos ilustrativos que forman parte de la coherencia del texto。 Cada capítulo está dividido en 3 ó 4 lecciones （lectiones） y consiste en algunas páginas de texto seguidas de una sección gramatical （Grammatica） y tres ejercicios （Pensa）。 Al final del volumen se recogen una tabla de paradigmas， un calendario romano y un léxico （Index vocabulorum）。

Without a doubt the best language-learning text I've ever used。 You have to be self-motivated to get through this book， but if you stick with it the results are rewarding。 Without a doubt the best language-learning text I've ever used。 You have to be self-motivated to get through this book， but if you stick with it the results are rewarding。 。。。more

I can't think of a better way to begin one's journey into the wonderful Latin language。 This book is not only extremely useful， but entertaining in its own way as well。 It begins at an extremely basic level in terms of both grammar and story， building up with each chapter so the reader never has a chance to get too comfortable。 LLPSI uses a Roman family （as the name suggests） and accounts of their day-to-day life as a backdrop for instruction， and while this obviously isn't a novel， I found the I can't think of a better way to begin one's journey into the wonderful Latin language。 This book is not only extremely useful， but entertaining in its own way as well。 It begins at an extremely basic level in terms of both grammar and story， building up with each chapter so the reader never has a chance to get too comfortable。 LLPSI uses a Roman family （as the name suggests） and accounts of their day-to-day life as a backdrop for instruction， and while this obviously isn't a novel， I found the characters delightful enough to get invested in them and their world。 Latin classes are pretty rare unless that's your chosen field， so this is a great resource for someone like me who was simply curious。 It's certainly far more engaging than most self-study textbooks and the stories are way more interesting than most beginning Latin prose。 While the idea of this method is that the student should be able to understand the whole thing by intuition and induction alone， I found that at times I did have to look up words or phrases that weren't adequately explained， but that doesn't take anything away from the efficacy of Orberg's style， which is on the whole superb。 As a warning I'd say don't let the size of this book fool you: the chapters are short but you're working your way through a new language so don't be surprised if it takes a while or you have to go back and review。 I hope to read the next book when I finally muster the energy， but it's immensely satisfying to have read an entire book in Latin， and I'd venture to guess by the time you finishing this one you just might be writing some， too。 。。。more

Five stars: not because it's perfect， but because it is excellent and better than Wheelock。I was once where you may be: a prospective Latin learner trying to decide which text to use。 I had seen a lot of crowing about the "natural method，" but it just looked like propaganda， sloganeering， without any actual evidence being cited that what works for children works best for adults。 And I *still* think it looks that way。 Natural-method propagandists， I'm talking to you: it simply won't do to keep st Five stars: not because it's perfect， but because it is excellent and better than Wheelock。I was once where you may be: a prospective Latin learner trying to decide which text to use。 I had seen a lot of crowing about the "natural method，" but it just looked like propaganda， sloganeering， without any actual evidence being cited that what works for children works best for adults。 And I *still* think it looks that way。 Natural-method propagandists， I'm talking to you: it simply won't do to keep stamping your feet and insisting that this is NATURAL， it WORKS， it WORKED FOR YOU， and that the grammar-translation approach is BAD AND UNNATURAL AND STILTED AND ALL THAT IS EVIL IN THE WORLD。 Tacēte。 Rational people want to see the （not merely anecdotal） evidence -- and it may very well be out there， but please。。。cite some of it？ You don't know how blindly ideological you look， preaching instead of teaching。Anyway。 I started with Wheelock and actually made some progress。 （Got about two thirds of the way in。） Kept getting bored， falling off。 Decided to try this Orberg thing everyone keeps talking up。 Typed out the chapters word-by-word， did the Pensa。 By God， it works well enough。 I'm reading Latin at a higher level than before。 If you're in my position， not having drunk the Kool-Aid about the sacred NATURAL METHOD （sanctus， sanctus， sanctus。。。 give me a break） but thinking Wheelock looks awfully dry， or put off by the bad reviews of the latter， or just plain undecided， I do recommend you go with Orberg。What's good about it？-It works。 How well？ Results may vary， but I checked out the first couple of chapters of Genesis in the Vulgate and they read fairly easily -- not that I necessarily recommend the Vulgate as your follow-up reading。 This， alas， is still "beginning level" in Latin， but it's in the right direction。-There truly is a nice story; told in elementary Latin， but not juvenile （Ecce Quīntus！ Ecce canis Quīntī！ cēt。）。 And funny！ And sometimes moving （my favorite is the telling of the Icarus story with the rather sublime ending of the chapter; also the creative use of "margarītae" and "gemmae" in the pastoral vignette， very clever indeed; and the lovely ambivalent presentation of Christianity through one character）。What could be better？-New words are often not repeated often enough really to make them stick。-The marginal definitions are occasionally wonky。-Answers to the Pensa are found， not in the main book， but in a supplementary one that is far too expensive。 I suppose this makes the present volume better for teaching， and what I'm really complaining about is the price of the supplementary materials。-The story has an unsatisfying ending！ I wanted Marcus to end up in the gladiatorial arena and then get saved and pardoned by Iulius， or something like that to tie the storylines together and resolve them。 No doubt one reason for my wanting this is， naturally， my discomfort with the character Iulius: a cruel， self-serving， misogynistic asshole， casual about beatings， economic exploitation， and crucifixion -- in a word， probably a typical Roman male landowner。 I guess that Orberg is teaching some lessons here about norms and mores in Roman society， and effectually。Don't worship it， but do use it。 Valē！ 。。。more

I can only echo other reviewers and say what a great book this is for learning Latin。 I've had a long journey with the language already - I remember seeing it often enough in odd places while attending Catholic school to recognize it and be curious enough to want to learn it， then getting into all sorts of medieval and Renaissance music with Latin texts and getting an intuitive feel from that + perusing some texts at the Latin Library and Perseus TUFTS， downloading a vocabulary building/grammar I can only echo other reviewers and say what a great book this is for learning Latin。 I've had a long journey with the language already - I remember seeing it often enough in odd places while attending Catholic school to recognize it and be curious enough to want to learn it， then getting into all sorts of medieval and Renaissance music with Latin texts and getting an intuitive feel from that + perusing some texts at the Latin Library and Perseus TUFTS， downloading a vocabulary building/grammar drilling app etc， and finally spending a few years singing in chant scholas at Latin masses。 This has been a relieving and rewarding way not just to cap all that off but to systematically get the hang of reading in this language and develop an easy familiarity with the ins and outs of its grammar。 I'm excited to read Part II and continue my journey with Latin， and I wish there were a book like this for any given language， because the method is so darn good。 。。。more

Good grief， where was this book when I was in AP Latin， realizing after 10 years of grammar-translation instruction that I still couldn't sit down and read Latin fluently without translating it first？Apparently it was there all along and nobody told me about it。This the perfect re-introduction to the language for anyone wishing to brush up， and the plethora of accompanying online resources on YouTube makes it super easy to get into as a self-study。 It's refreshing to see how much Latin pedagogy Good grief， where was this book when I was in AP Latin， realizing after 10 years of grammar-translation instruction that I still couldn't sit down and read Latin fluently without translating it first？Apparently it was there all along and nobody told me about it。This the perfect re-introduction to the language for anyone wishing to brush up， and the plethora of accompanying online resources on YouTube makes it super easy to get into as a self-study。 It's refreshing to see how much Latin pedagogy is catching up with language acquisition methodologies in general and focusing on teaching Latin as a whole language， not a secret message to be decoded。 。。。more

The life's work of a genius。 This is easily the best introductory textbook for Latin and quite possibly any other language。 Other textbooks teach you about Latin， but Ørberg teaches you how to read Latin。 There's no translation here （in fact， no English at all！）， just 300 pages of graded reading， exercises， and nearly 1800 vocabulary words， all of which are defined through context， illustrations， synonyms/antonyms， or Latin definitions。 Anyone who wants to take a dive into the eternal language o The life's work of a genius。 This is easily the best introductory textbook for Latin and quite possibly any other language。 Other textbooks teach you about Latin， but Ørberg teaches you how to read Latin。 There's no translation here （in fact， no English at all！）， just 300 pages of graded reading， exercises， and nearly 1800 vocabulary words， all of which are defined through context， illustrations， synonyms/antonyms， or Latin definitions。 Anyone who wants to take a dive into the eternal language of Rome， pick this up。 。。。more

It is the best book for self-studying of Latin language （and probably for any language） I've came across so far。Thought it is completely written in Latin， it starts with so gentle learning curve that no prior knowledge of Latin is required whatsoever。 Some knowledge of languages rich with Latin-derived vocabulary would be helpful （like Italian， Spanish， French， or even English） but not necessary。Instead of forcing you to learn some new piece of language in an abstract way， the book provides you It is the best book for self-studying of Latin language （and probably for any language） I've came across so far。Thought it is completely written in Latin， it starts with so gentle learning curve that no prior knowledge of Latin is required whatsoever。 Some knowledge of languages rich with Latin-derived vocabulary would be helpful （like Italian， Spanish， French， or even English） but not necessary。Instead of forcing you to learn some new piece of language in an abstract way， the book provides you with simple （but increasingly more complex） texts that present you with practical grammar and meaningful context to make the memorization process as smooth as I could imagine。 This is so-called "natural method"， where contexts usually provides you with the majority of data to understand the meaning of a new word。 There are even occasional illustrations to facilitate the process！ Texts are interesting to follow and while the book unfolds they gradually introduce a wide range of topics （family， household， military， traveling， literature etc。）。 Those texts constitute full stories that in an entertaining way tell you something interesting about ancient Roman culture and/or just fun to read。 Occasionally author inserts increasingly bigger chunks of texts from Classical authors and Bible。Each text in the book is followed by an explanation of new grammar introduced in it and summary of all the new vocabulary。 Exercises to consolidate newly acquired knowledge is also present at the end of each chapter。The process of studying through this book is highly rewarding - for reasonable efforts you get the excitement about starting to understand the texts written in a language that was completely unknown for you just a couple weeks ago。 And those are texts， not merely words or isolated sentences！Perhaps it is not as academic as some other books， but I believe it contains all the necessary grammar and vocabulary for you to start reading not too complicated texts after finishing it。 Overall， this book is all about making the process of learning enjoyable。 But don't get me wrong - it is not a casual superficial reading for children， there are many truly challenging moments throughout the book and sometimes texts get tricky to interpret。 I wish there were more books like that in other languages！As far as I am concerned， after finishing "Lingua Latina per se Illustrata" I started reading Vulgate Bible right away and have managed to read already 10 chapters with relative ease。 。。。more

This is the best textbook I have ever owned and massively increased my fluency in reading Latin。 It's not perfect， and I definitely think you need the other supplementary books to get everything out of it， but it did for me what years of college classes did not--I can read and _feel_ Latin。 It introduces a lot of vocabulary （arguably too much） and poetry is still quite difficult， but if you want to learn Latin， this is really the way to go。 Now on to more reading and learning still more vocabula This is the best textbook I have ever owned and massively increased my fluency in reading Latin。 It's not perfect， and I definitely think you need the other supplementary books to get everything out of it， but it did for me what years of college classes did not--I can read and _feel_ Latin。 It introduces a lot of vocabulary （arguably too much） and poetry is still quite difficult， but if you want to learn Latin， this is really the way to go。 Now on to more reading and learning still more vocabulary！ 。。。more

I am currently learning latin on my own casually。 I have a vocabulary of a few hundred words & a basic grasp of grammar etc。 I like that I can slowly read through this understand it without referring to a dictionary very often。 Even words that I'm not yet familiar with I can usually make out from context。 Though， I do look them up just to be sure。 I'm sure as the grammar becomes more complicated the same will be true for conjugations/declinations。 Seeing grammar & word endings used in context i I am currently learning latin on my own casually。 I have a vocabulary of a few hundred words & a basic grasp of grammar etc。 I like that I can slowly read through this understand it without referring to a dictionary very often。 Even words that I'm not yet familiar with I can usually make out from context。 Though， I do look them up just to be sure。 I'm sure as the grammar becomes more complicated the same will be true for conjugations/declinations。 Seeing grammar & word endings used in context is a much better way of retaining the info then the traditional method of memorizing dozens of conjugation tables。 （I'm looking at you Wheelock's Latin） Doing the exercises at the end of the chapter are very useful as well。 It's not a stand alone latin textbook by any means， but it's a great supplement。 I can't wait to wade further into it！ 。。。more

If you have a Latin grammar book and Lingua Latina per se illustrata， you will learn Latin。 I cannot stress how amazing this book is。 It has you thinking in Latin as you learn it。 The story itself is fun too。

Outstanding historical fiction。 The book contains multiple short stories centered around （but not just） a roman patrician family。 The characters are diverse and represent multiple strata of the roman society。 In the midst of this very rich tapestry of lifes， we come across the awe-inspiring redemption arch of Medus， learning to trust and love again after being betrayed and captured as a free man in Greece and sold as a slave to Iulius， one of the protagonists and patriarch of the family。 。。。。。。。 Outstanding historical fiction。 The book contains multiple short stories centered around （but not just） a roman patrician family。 The characters are diverse and represent multiple strata of the roman society。 In the midst of this very rich tapestry of lifes， we come across the awe-inspiring redemption arch of Medus， learning to trust and love again after being betrayed and captured as a free man in Greece and sold as a slave to Iulius， one of the protagonists and patriarch of the family。 。。。。。。。。。Oh， and I guess also the best language learning book I've ever come across。 。。。more

Since it has been a while since I went through Wheelock， I wanted to find a book that I could use to refresh my Latin in a more natural way。 This book was exactly what I was looking for， and I wish that I had discovered it sooner。 I think the natural method is by far the best way of improving one’s fluency in a language， and Ørberg uses it masterfully。

The natural method of language acquisition of so much more engaging and satisfying than the grammar/translation method。 The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the lack of glossary。 I had to buy one separately。 The author felt that all newly introduced vocabulary could be understood from context。 It works most of the time， but there is enough ambiguity or nuance to some choices of words that I can't completely agree。 The natural method of language acquisition of so much more engaging and satisfying than the grammar/translation method。 The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the lack of glossary。 I had to buy one separately。 The author felt that all newly introduced vocabulary could be understood from context。 It works most of the time， but there is enough ambiguity or nuance to some choices of words that I can't completely agree。 。。。more
