A Companion to Familia Romana: Based on Hans Ørberg's Latine Disco, with Vocabulary and Grammar

by Jeanne Marie Neumann, Hans Henning Ørberg

This volume is the completely reset Second Edition of Jeanne Marie Neumann's A College Companion (Focus, 2008). It offers a running exposition, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. Ørberg's Familia Romana, and includes the complete text of the Ørberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and Latin–English Vocabulary. It also serves as a substitute for Ørberg's Latine Disco, on which it is based. As it includes no exercises, however, it is not a substitute for the Ørberg ancillary Exercitia Latina I. Though designed especially for those approaching Familia Romana at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit layout of Familia Romana's inductively-presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, the Second Edition also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.

Some help as a companion read to Familia Romana. Will be looking to an explicit grammar (Allen & Greenough), or Wheelock for reminders & further explanations, and a dictionary for vocabulary.
