Description

Part of Lingua Latina Level 2, this book offers commentary in English to the grammar covered in Rome Aeterna (item 26462). It would be useful to an accelerated student approaching Level 2, but with Latin grammar at this high level, I think any student should have this guide close at hand. ~Sara

Publisher's Description of Lingua Latina: Companion to Roma Aeterna

A sequel to her widely used A Companion to Familia Romana (now in its second edition), Jeanne Marie Neumann's A Companion to Roma Aeterna offers a running commentary, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. Orberg's Roma Aeterna, and includes the complete text of the Orberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and LatinEnglish Vocabulary II. It also serves as a substitute for Orberg's Instructions, on which it is based.

Though designed especially for those approaching Roma Aeterna at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit exposition of that volumes implicitly presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, A Companion to Roma Aeterna also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.

Category Description for Lingua Latina

Lingua Latina is a complete immersion course by Hans Ørberg designed to get students comfortable reading and understanding Latin. Then, after completing the first part of the course, students will be able to read fairly difficult classic texts for themselves outside the program. Through the second part of the course, students will be reading classical texts by themselves, refine their syntax, and accrue a Latin vocabulary of over 4,000 more words.

Unlike programs that teach verb tenses and conjugations first, Lingua Latina begins with nouns, pronouns, and prepositions to get stu­dents comfortable reading and understand­ing Latin quickly. Two levels are available and center on a Latin Reader.

The Level 1 Reader, Familia Romana, follows the daily life of a Roman family in the 2nd century A.D. A final section features readings from classical poets and Donatus’ Ars Grammatica. Additional components include the Latine Disco (student manual), Exercitia Latina with grammar exer­cises (no answers), the Glossarium Latin to English glossary and the Grammatica Latina with the grammar and paradigms found in Familia Romana. The Companion to Familia Romana contains an English discussion of the grammar taught in Familia Romana and the full texts Grammatica Latina and Glossarium. Use the Companion in place of Latine Disco. It includes no exercises, so you still need Exercitia Latina.

Nearly the same components are included in the second part of the program, with a few exceptions. First, the Instructions for Part II serve the same function as the Latine Disco in Part I, but also includes background historical and grammatical information for each chapter in the corresponding reader. The Level 2 Reader, Roma Aeterna, focuses on Roman history through the eyes of Roman authors, and the 21 chapters include portions of the Aeneid I-IV, Livy's Book 1, and the writings of Ovid. The Teacher Materials includes chapter-by-chapter exer­cises for Familia Romana and Roma Aeterna, (with answers), and answers to Exercita Latina I and II.
