About the Author

Hans H. Ørberg (1920–2010) was a pioneering Danish linguist and educator renowned for his innovative approach to language instruction through immersion. A former teacher of classics and modern languages, Ørberg developed the Natural Method, which immerses learners in comprehensible input without relying on translations or grammar explanations in the target language. His seminal work, Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, Pars I: Familia Romana, revolutionized Latin pedagogy by presenting the language as a living system through contextual storytelling and illustrations. Complementing this, Exercitia Latina I: Exercises for Familia Romana (Lingua Latina) (Latin Edition) provides essential practice to reinforce vocabulary and syntax. Ørberg's methods have influenced countless educators worldwide, making ancient languages accessible and engaging for students of all ages.
