A Companion to Familia Romana 2nd Edition can be used in place of Latine Disco, Grammatica Latina and the Latin-English Vocabulary. It provides a running grammatical commentary on Familia Romana and the 2nd edition also includes a section on cultural context for each chapter. Chapters of the Companion correlate directly to chapters in Familia Romana, with Grammatica Latina and the Latin-English Vocabulary appended in the back of the book. Because this book goes into much more detail than the Latine Disco, it is also recommended as a good companion for teachers who have little knowledge of Latin. Compared to Latine Disco (50 pages), the Companion is much heftier with 405 pages. Paperback.
Lingua Latina:Companion to Familia Romana 2ED
Description
This volume is the completely reset Second Edition of Jeanne Marie Neumann's A College Companion (Focus, 2008). It offers a running exposition, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. rberg's Familia Romana, and includes the complete text of the rberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and LatinEnglish Vocabulary. It also serves as a substitute for rberg's Latine Disco, on which it is based. As it includes no exercises, however, it is not a substitute for the rberg ancillary Exercitia Latina I. Though designed especially for those approaching Familia Romana at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit layout of Familia Romana's inductively-presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, the Second Edition also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.
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.
