It would appear Orberg is releasing some new materials, which I’m sure anyone who has studied Lingua Latina and his other resources will appreciate. However I can’t seem to find any of these books outside of these websites, or even on Orberg’s own website. The last five on the list above aren’t even available via the so called Editore. Is he using a new publisher? I’d love to get a copy of some of these, but it looks quite difficult at the moment…
On that page there are also supplements to Lingua Latina Pars II that I haven’t seen before:
Those are just the correspondent exercitia for roma aeterna.
The other one, as well as everything down from Aeneis (included) seems to be new to his collection. In other subjects, is he really anotating the entire Aeneid, or are these excerpts? EDIT: Nevermind. Books I and IV.
He seems to be giving new covers for everything, which I don’t find strange, since apparently LL has been getting a big momentum in Europe, or so they say at the OrbergListServ. I’m curious about how would the Enchiridia differ from the “Latine Disco” books.
Besides LLPSI & LLPSII, I have the books “Sermones Romani” and “De coniuratione Catalinae” (despite of my 2005 edition does not have such beautiful illustrations) and I´ve read both without any problem. I am up to the last chapter of LLPSI and I must confess that I am fairly well satisfied with the results. I wish to thank people such as Lucus Eques or Amadeus who encourage everyone to use this method. It´s worthwhile.
I´d be also interested in the Aeneid and in De rerum natura. I´ve read from Vivarium Novum page that they´re about to release an edition of Cebetis Tabula. Does anyone know anything?
I can’t wait to read it, however I seem stuck at Chapter 16 of Lingua Latina 1
Do you think buying this would give me some motivation?
(Don’t answer this, I already have way to much Latin books, I just need to study.) I need a kick in the butt
Bretonus, that’s good to hear!
I could not decide if I was having a severe and waaaaaaaay early case of pregnancy-brain-fog or if this chapter is really much more difficult than the previous chapters. I will continue on. I had great plans to finish book 1 before the baby will be born (august), but I don’t think I will make it
Ah, well, I’ve got the rest of my life
Whoa awesome, Gonzalo! Miraglia is a brilliant man; it’s a shame he insists upon the Italian pronunciation of Latin, but it has a certain beauty about it, I suppose …
That’s an awesome set of recordings. Too bad the audio quality is fairly weak. Needless to say I’ll be listening to it, and I like the broad selection of authors, particularly Seneca. How many hours total of recording are on there now?
The accursed schwa at the end of final consonants seems to affect his speech on-and-off.
Dolidon from the Homeric recording on YouTube is on some of the videos too. The YouTube video seems to have been made private however. His speech is quick and mostly Classical, though he uses the hard /m/ instead of nasalization and I seem to have heard “e” for “ae”.
Even though I have nothing against the Italian pronunciation (I used it, in fact, in the first 18 months of my studies), I agree that he should say something in Classical Latin, just for the sake of fairness. But, oh how I would like to be in that class!
Alatius, thanks for the youtube link. Looks like every Lingua Latina chapter is represented. This is a great resource since I just started Lingua Latina, Book 1. At my age (46), developing an ear for comprehending spoken Latin will be a challenge. Also, reciting the chapter out loud is tough. I wonder if I am pronouncing the words right. The professor on the youtube link speaks Latin kind of fast…wish I could slow it down a little.
