    Hi from Italy. On the strength of your review, I have just ordered this book in the Spanish version (because my grandson already has the version in Italian; he was taught the Ecclesiastical Latin pronunication) and I want to make some comparisons with the Iberian Romance languages. I also have a Catalan - Latin dictionary which is curious. Thank you Luke.
    Update: Three books arrived, from Big A. ;-) Only the first one was in fact the Spanish edition and the only Spanish text it contained was: "Impreso en España". I have now decided to do something ambitious. I have spoken Italian, French and Spanish since childhood and I have since then learned some Portuguese, Catalan and Romanian, in that order of proficiency. So I am now going to study - as a leisure-time activity - these 3 languages alongside the Latin text, based on the reasoning: if it works for Latin, why not for the modern Romance languages as well? I have no rush and I see from the first page that I can learn something about the similarities and differences between and among these languages, for example the modern languages all have definite articles, while Latin doesn't, etc. Also, Luke will be pleased to read that I am using the macron - not to be confused with the Macron, who lives in Paris - because I have learned from him that the long vowels in Latin have the same importance as double (long) consonants in Italian, eg. IT "dona" = "he/she donates" vs "donna" = "lady, woman". Thanks again Luke. Gratias tibi. Obrigado. Moltes gràcies. Multumesc.

But I got my copy of Lingua Latina today and it's such a clever concept & hoping It will help fill the gaps because I don't want to be someone who can conjugate all the nouns but fails to read a simple sentence. I salute your dedication to the Latin language and your complementary videos to the book chapters, giving full pronunciation. Thank you!

      Starting Gwynne’s approach and moving then to a more comprehensive use of the language is a much better approach for most people. Gwynne’s Latin is very rigid and requires a student to focus on methods that do not first present any Latin. It means a student is half way through the text before they get simple Latin but it is an extremely powerful approach.

    As a language learning aficionado (native Yankee English), one of the best tools I've used was when I was living in South Africa many many years ago and trying to learn Afrikaans. I'd stumbled across an old (1960's) book and cassette tape series by the then Phillips Language Company. There was no English at all. The books had simple drawings and accompanying text solely in Afrikaans, and the tapes dictated them exactly in both male and female voices. No English. No grammer. Simple sentences turned into stories and it was amazing how quickly I was picking it up! The Berlitz tapes I'd been using previously were worthless in comparison. In short time I was able to listen to the tapes during my commute and following along with the fun/interesting stories.
    In learning Russian, re-learning Spanish (from high school days) as well as dabbling with other languages I have not found anything exactly like those old Phillips materials.
    Now I'm back trying to learn Latin since a very painful attempt Freshman year of high school (switched to Spanish the remaining 3 years).
    I'm really enjoying your channel and per your recommendation (used your link!) purchased Familia Romana. After just a few pages I'm hooked! I had already refreshed a few basic words including the conjugation of sum, but that's it, and I'm finding it very easy to understand each new word as it's introduced, building and building.
    What I feel very rusty with though is pronunciation! I've found your LLPSI recordings and thank you so much! I will join your Patreon to show my appreciation for all your hard work.
    Thanks again for all the great videos and recommendations - I'll be sure especially to bookmark this vid!

I do a little bit each day, and I allow myself to think about it and ponder it before going on. This book works for me like no one's business.

    is it possible that Colloquia Personarum has a new edition? The one that you linked here seems out of print but there's a newer edition available.

    I used this when teaching Latin at the Summer Language Institute at the Saskatoon Theological Union, the inductive method within was well received and my students made good progress. I suffered through Wheelock's Latin so that they wouldn't have to, I joked.

    I've started Pars I and I have the Colloquia Personarum and the Exercitia. I've already realised something about how I learn, which is that although the LLPSI method is good, I will get more out of it with some supplemental grammar - for example, in Cap II the genitive case is introduced and it is explained in the Grammatica Latina, but it helped me to read an explation of the genitive in English and to have a separate declension table open on my desk as a kind of instant visual reinforcement of what I'm reading in Famila Romana.
    I've seen another video of yours in which you say you originally started with the Dowling approach and I've found your web page about the Ranieri-Dowling method. Do you still recommend your version of Dowling's "brute memorisation" technique as a first step, because you don't mention it here? I think it might suit my learning style, given what I've discovered so far from Cap I and II.

    You mention the comprehensible input hypotheses in the video, but then stress the importance of the exercises at the end, and in the supplementary book. But Stephen Krashen, who I'm sure you know, is the most famous proponent, and I believe the coiner of the term 'comprehensible input', tends to dismiss the value of those kinds of things like exercises, as not very helpful, and possibly detrimental to the learning process. What are your thoughts on that?

    • @strangerintheselands251
      @strangerintheselands251 Рік тому

      Krashen does not dismiss exercises nor deliberate learning! So much confusion around the theme. He only said these are not the way that language is acquired. By you have to use conscious learning to polish things up, just as a child who already speaks the language has to start learning about language at some poing to fill the gaps and even out the bumps. No way around it.

You can separate these two processes in time, you know, acquiring while reading AND working consciously on details. Doing them at the same time is horrible, no doubt.

    After a year working thru everything in Wheelock’s Latin, I’m pick up Familia Romana again and start from the beginning. The translation method really messed up my mind when approaching Latin text and it is not the right way if one truly wishes to read fluently in any language. But Wheelock does have merits for me as I feel quite comfortable recognizing all the declensions and conjugations after much brute memorization with it.

  • @user-yw5jl2wf6h

    I'm about halfway through Pars I and Colloquia Personarum. Currently on Cap XIX: Maritus et Uxor. I'll provide an edit/update once I've completed Pars I.
    I can not agree with Luke strongly enough: as someone who is self-teaching Latin, this book series is my best friend for studying Latin, as well as learning how languages as a whole tend to work. It breaks down everything you need to know about the grammar in a slow and easy-to-follow format. The marginal notes are extremely helpful and in my opinion the single best feature Ørberg's style has to offer.
    It's also got a rather surprisingly high entertainment value for a literal textbook. There are parts that are genuinely funny while teaching grammar. There's nothing quite like dropping puns to teach you how minute differences in grammar and spelling can have such a profound effect on the meaning of a sentence.
    And some closing thoughts on LLPSI thus far (again, only at Cap XIX thus far) :
    Mēdus did nothing wrong, Marcus did EVERYTHING wrong, Iulia and Syra deserve better and must be protected at all costs.

Like starting from Italian and going back to Latin, then not stopping there all the way to Proto-Indo-European. And once you mastered that you could take another volume from the same series and read it backwards from PIE to say Russian or Persian :-)

    In Germany it's forbidden to use it in school. But the most teachers tell their students that using it is the best way to improve their Latin. (In Germany it's not about speaking or reading the language. The students analyse the grammar and vocabulary to receive a better theoratical understanding of languages in general. They have to analyse the Texts like Sherlock Holmes analyses a crime scene even when "reading" the latin version of Asterix.) I couldn't get a copy when I were young. Later I bought one. And it was amzing. I was able to read and to understand it. I even understood the features I didn't understood in school just by reading it.

It is by far the best textbook I've seen. I so wish I could find similar textbooks in German, Spanish and other languages I'm interested in.
