My son (14) and I (48) are using this book. You notice how you advance in understanding Latin. Exercises are pertinent and helps you to check if you got the idea or not. We have three books: Pars1, Execitia and Answer key. You can check your progress and test yourself. I guess it could be more difficult without the answer key book.It's a nicely edited book, written to help you to understand.
If you are buying this to learn Latin, I recommend buying all 4 items at the same time. They compliment each other, and are needed for cross-referencing. Familia Romana, Lingua Latina: Pars I Exercitia Latina I, Lingua Latina Teacher's manual, and the Latine Disco (student manual). My son has had 2 years of a Latin Primer, and this has been a wonderful way to continue his language study. It's interesting as well as challenging. I have not studied Latin, but have learned other languages, so I am familiar with endings, masculine/feminine words. It requires help from a parent or teacher (he's in 6th grade). If you have never studied another language, this would be difficult to teach. We have had to use a Latin/English dictionary to help with some of the words. None of the directions are in English. It starts out simple, and progresses. This book only contains the exercises, and not the answers. If you don't have Familia Romana, then don't buy this book.
I love Lingua Latina, and I love the workbook. But I only gave it 4 stars because there ARE a few mistakes in the workbook, and it is missing an answer key (sometimes... u just REALLY wanna know if you're right...). Overall, though... I would still recommend it to anyone.
While I love this book, the complaints of some of the negative reviewers have some truth in them. After a while, most adults will probably become frustrated with Familia Latina unless they are also using a more traditional text with a systematic presentation in English of the Latin grammar. But, nevertheless, Familia Latina is a great way to get a taste of Latin, a great tool to introduce a child who is not able to tolerate grammatical drills or master a systematic presentation of grammatical rules to the language, and a great reader to supplement other books and classwork. The second book in the series, Roma Eterna, makes a delightful reader for those who continue their study of Latin. Lingua Latina: Pars II: Roma Aeterna.
Great 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.
This book is really useful and helpful in learning Latin. It's well-structured and repetitive enough to help you remember things without being dull. For additional reading practice I liked Lingva Latina - Via Latina: Easy Latin Reader (Latin Edition) which has graded texts and plenty of footnotes.
These exercises accompany a reader and are a useful companion to it. The exercises are all in Latin; in other words, you can not receive instructions or grammar instruction in English. The student has to work at her/his lessons in the "foreign language." This is a good "angle" from which to approach lessons in Latin, for it forces the student to think about the lessons in a different way. Maybe these exercises are not the only ones the student should use, but they are a good part of a total Latin curriculum.
For those unfamiliar with the Lingua Latina series, Exercitia Latina I is a supplement to the main text, Familia Romana. I am five chapters in to Exercitia Latina and have thus far found it useful. Be aware, however, that this book consists of grammar exercises, which are not always scintillating and titillating. I strongly recommend purchasing the Teacher's Materials in conjunction with Exercitia Latina because it has the answer key.
