Reynold
 'Nature Study Reader ' 


You would get the most out of this book if you had previously studied the Orbis Sensualium Pictus, as the first sections deal with science, the universe, nature, etc. The second part would be easier if you had listened to Taylor's adapted Caesar text, or Lowe's Caesar, if you are a complete beginner.
This reader is unique, in having as a strong focus indirect discourse - right from the beginning, Reynolds starts to introduce it, with imaginary students answering questions on the previous lesson. By the time you reach Caesar, the method of presenting reported speech seems natural.
This is a delightful audiobook. A beginning student, after studying Comenius, will be able to tackle the first half without problems, and after some preliminary study of Caesar, as suggested, the second half will also make for a pleasant experience.

'Der Kleine Lateiner' 

Der Kleine Lateiner - A Comenian Reader - 2hrs 3 mins 
Der Kleine Lateiner is essentially a re-write of Comenian material,with much in common with the Orbis Pictus. It is a useful text to use to revise and consolidate the Orbis Sensualium Pictus, as the wording is often slightly different, but the subject matter will be familiar.

Adler.
A Language Immersion Course.

Become a Patron!
Adler's textbook is possibly the most complete Latin Course ever written.  Adler's textbook was 'lost' and revived in 2007 by Evan der Millner. This audio presentation, originally produced by Evan for the Latinum Podcast,  turns Adler into an immersion experience.

It is unique, in focusing on learning the entire structure of Latin grammar through conversation. With over 191 hours of audio, it is the most comprehensive Latin course of its type in existence, and is excellent value for money. 

Unlike with most Latin courses, with Adler you don't suddenly get 'stuck' as the textbook. After a few easy chapters, most Latin textbooks take sudden leaps forwards. 

With Adler, development is gradual and systematic, although the first couple of lessons do have some difficult grammatical material in the audio course, the actual examples - where most of your learning takes place - are easy.

The entire Adler Audio Course - over 191 hours of audio, plus auxiliary materials,is available now on Patreon.


Each of the 97 lessons is in 3 parts: ( except for the first four lessons, which follow a slightly different arrangement)

1. Grammar and syntax with extensive paradigms added to the text. The grammar is very detailed, with large numbers of additional paradigms and useful memory clues. Vocabulary is presented in advance of every lesson.
2. Model question-answer conversations in Latin-English-Latin. Here you consolidate your vocabulary, and learn the grammatical structures in use.
3. Slow repetition and fast repetition of the conversational material in Latin only, for review.
Once you have mastered section C of any lesson, it is time to move to the next lesson

Adler is available as digital downloads or as streaming on Patreon as well:

Missa Latina - 1755 edition


Missa Sancta (read in Restored Classical Pronunciation.)
Student edition recorded in Latin-English-Latin, phrase by phrase, with a separate repetition in Latin only.
This is a text dating from 1755, and is an academic study text. The Missa Sancta in its various forms can be regarded as an important document in the history of Western Civilization, and many phrases and expressions from it are very common in Latin literature. An acquaintance with this text is worth having, especially given its prevalence in the Western musical tradition.

    Sanford and Scott's
    'Junior Latin Reader' 




      Sanford and Scott's reader would be accessible for a student who had completed the Adler course - re-telling famous stories from myth and legend, such as the story of Perseus,Hercules and Jason - followed by a simple Roman History reader,it is pleasant to listen to, and would benefit even a more advanced student. Listening to easy Latin is a great way to move towards fluency, which can only be achieved by extensive audio and oral exercise

Appleton and Jones'  'Puer Romanus'.





Appleton's reader is suitable for a 21st century intermediate student of Latin, although even a beginner will benefit from extended oral input in the language. The reader is in the form of a novella, told from the perspective of a young Brundisian boy, called Lucius. This books is justifiably famous - and remains one of a handful of such texts ever written.

John Amos Comenius' 'Vestibulum to the Latin Language'. 

This text is a pleasant introduction to the Latin language, and would also benefit more experienced students, who may have a very limited range of vocabulary.
The Vestibulum gives an essential foundation in the core root words of Latin, enough to begin to start to speak about some things, and to read a variety of very simple texts. The Romans themselves used simple dialogues and fables to teach their children, or foreigners ( we have textbooks from the second century for teaching Latin to Greeks) - so throwing out this model, an eminently sensible one of slowly increasing complexity of the texts, aiming at fluency in 5 to 6 years - has lead to an entire generation being unable to read Latin without translating it into the vernacular in their heads, and poorly equipped to express themselves in the language. Comenius' Vestibulum imitates these ancient Roman educational texts, as do his grammar texts, which are written in a pleasant , clear and light-hearted Latin style.
The Vestibulum contains a vocabulary of 1000 root words.

John Taylor's  Caesar for Beginners. (Book I, The Helvetic War)
The publishers to the new University College, London, in the mid 1800's embarked on a new series of Latin texts, following the plan outlined by the philosopher John Locke. 
This particular edition of Caesar is unique, and no other Latin text has been issued since this date, using the serial and oral method. This method teaches grammar intuitively, through the deconstructed text of Caesar, which is built up line by line, each new line only introducing one new lexical item, or one new grammatical point, which is highlighted in the Latin and in the translation with italic font. This is a most valuable text for the beginning student of the Roman Classics.
