Lingua Latina per se illustrata<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Omnis lingua usu potius discitur quam praeceptis,
\nid est audiendo, legendo, relegendo,
\nimitationem manu et lingua temptando quam creberrime.<\/em>
\nComenius, Ianua linguarum reserata<\/em><\/strong>.<\/h4>\n

Our studies and our experience led us to recognize\u00a0Lingua Latina per se illustrata<\/em><\/a>, by\u00a0H. H. \u00d8rberg<\/a>, as the most effective Latin course.
\nThis course follows the so-called nature method. Grammar is carefully taught, and learned inductively, i.e. from context (which is the natural process of learning). Much attention is also paid to vocabulary learning, by the inductive method: the words to be learned are chosen on the grounds of their frequency in the usage of classical writers.
\nThe Latin language is constantly practiced, and a continuous narration, entirely in Latin, takes readers to ancient Rome, thereby also supplying them with many notions about Roman civilization and culture.\u00a0Lingua Latina<\/em>\u00a0can be used by learners of any age and any nationality.<\/p>\n
