►Chapter 1: Lesson 2

  • Week 1

    Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Chapter 1 contains three reading lessons (marked in the book with a Roman Numeral in the right-hand margin) and one grammar lesson. Each lesson is organized into five sessions. This week, we'll be working on Lesson 1.

    • Session One

      Open your workbook (print out the workbook pages here) to Chapter 1 - Lesson 1 - Session 1. Each week has 5 sessions. If you plan to complete Latin I in one year, you will want to complete all 5 sessions in one week. If you are working at your own pace, you can decide how many you would like to complete each day.

    • Translate! 
      Translate the lines indicated in your workbook without using any resources (no dictionaries, no online resources, etc.). Use the margin notes and context clues in your book to guess the meanings of new words.

    • Reverse translate!

      After correcting your translation, translate it back into Latin. When you get stuck, you can look back at the book, but try to do it from memory. Use a different color pen to correct the words and endings that you get wrong. Remember, word order doesn't matter, so only fix incorrect words and endings.
