Hans Henning Orberg (1920-2010) received his MA in English, French and Latin from the University of Copenhagen in 1946. He taught at various Danish high schools until 1963 and at the Grenaa Gymansium until 1988. From 1953 to 1961 he served on the staff of the Nature Method Institute, Copenhagen. He is the author of the Latin course "Lingua Latina secundum naturae rationem explicata" (1955-56); the course was revised in 1990-91, with a number of supplements, under the title "Lingua Latina per se illustrata". His books were published by Domus Latina, a publishing house he founded in Denmark, and they are distributed in the English speaking world by Focus Publishing.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2022This workbook is definitely recommended if you're learning via the Lingua Latina method. Each chapter has many exercises that truly help to practice the information that you've learned in the chapter. The exercises are also broken up by the lessons in the book: so the chapter will have a set of exercises for lesson/section one, two, and three; along with an exercise for the grammar section.
My only complaints about this book are: there isn't too much room to write your answers, but I have been able to manage and I usually write fairly big. My other complaint is that for the exercises in which you form your own sentences, the answer key in the teacher's manual doesn't give the answers. I have however found that you can just type what you've written into translate and decide for yourself if you've answered the question correctly.
I have found that this book has implemented what I have learned perfectly, I often find that the exercises are thought-provoking but easy. I highly recommend it to anyone using the series, it's definitely a huge benefit to your learning.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2023My experience with the Lingua Latīna family of Latin learning materials is that I found Familia Rōmāna at a used bookstore for $10 and bought it on a whim, knowing nothing about the Ørberg method. I was immediately enthralled by the ease with which I could comprehend the sentences on the page and how intuitive the reading felt: I was understanding words I have never looked up and for which there weren't really many accompanying images! (Granted, being a native English speaker I did recognize quite a lot of cognates...). My momentum didn't last too long as I got into the later chapters, where, while the immersion reading method continued, the amount of new words and new grammatical constructions seemed to increase exponentially. In order to retain any of this I spent painstaking hours copying/typing every word from the Capitula and accompanying Pensa -- down to the macron! This was slow, tedious work.
Poking around on the internet for additional Latin learning resources I stumbled upon other Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illūstrāta books, e.g. (Pars I) Exercitia Latīna I. I have gone back to the beginning of Familia Rōmāna and am working my way through it again while completing the Exercitia in Exercitia Latīna I. This workbook provides SO many opportunities to practice the grammatical structures introduced in Familia Rōmāna, which is great because in the FR book itself there are only ever three Pensa at the end of each chapter.
With Exercitia Latīna and the FR narrated videos on YouTube (by ScorpioMartianus), I am able to build up a solid foundation of the basics of Latin grammar and vocabulary, making each subsequent chapter more manageable, and enjoyable!
The only qualm I have with it is a complaint already voiced by many of the reviewers here: There isn't a ton of room to write one's answers to the questions; however, question types which require written responses are the minority. The workbook is useful enough that I don't mind the tight format!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024Great, natural way to learn the language
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2008Great book for everyone because it teaches Latin in Latin.
What I like it most is the fact that you learn the language as a live language, and not only by reading classic authors from an ancient era.
But on my study I keep changing from Lingva Latina and Gramatica Latina (Prof. Napoleão Mendes de Almeida, in Portuguese), because sometimes I think it is better to know why you are doing or saying the language in a particular way.
In Lingva Latina, first you learn how to speak, for later (and for me too later) learn why you say that way.
Buy Lingva Latina and get satisfied up to the last cent you paid it.
---- PT-BR -----------------
Se você quer aprender latim falando latim, esse é o livro. Lingva Latina é um livro de latim todo escrito em latim. Se você não está interessado em ter outro idioma servindo de elo de união entre você e o latim (nem mesmo sua língua mãe), então é só comprar.
Eu só não gosto do fato de muitas vezes ele ensinar o como falar sem explicar o porquê de falar assim. Por isto eu sempre fico alternando entre ele e a Gramática Latina do Prof. Napoleão Mendes de Almeida, que é a melhor gramática em português que você pode encontrar. Está a venda na Livraria Saraiva.
Lingva Latina vale cada centavo gasto nela. Bom estudo.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024Very helpful and necessary to accompany the book
- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023Love these books. Very appropriate for kids or adults learning Latin. It teaches the language by providing short stories made up of very short simple sentences and then works it’s way up from there.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021My son says, "It would be more helpful if I had more space to write. I think the questions are written well. It would be nice if the word section gave the meaning of the words too. Otherwise its a great book and I'm happy with it."

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly recommended as a companion to Lingua Latina
Samples of simple exercises to go along with Lingua Latin per se Illustrata. I read the whole book before getting the exercise book. Doing even the first few exercises corrected some mistakes I was making. So if you're reading LLPSI, you really should get this book and do the exercises along with the corresponding chapters in LLPSI. Each section of exercises it marked with the corresponding pages/chapter in LLPSI, making finding the right pages easy.

acheté pour démarrer le latin avec un enfant de 11 ans.
c'est la meilleure méthode qui existe. tout est en latin et pourtant l'apprentissage est agréable et instinctif.
on suit le quotidien d'une famille qui vit à l'époque romaine.
