Colloquia Personarum (Latin) (Lingua Latina)

Sorry, Caecilus, this is the best one.

It's a great complement to the Familia Romana coursebook, with 24 chapters corresponding to 24 of the chapters in the main book, mainly done in the form of conversations between the characters. I like it a lot, it provides a bit of extra reading practice, but it is only around 80 pages long and costs about 16 quid, which might be a bit steep from some people's point of view. To be honest it's a bit steep from my point of view, actually. Perhaps I should give it four stars instead of five..?

it is good and enjoyable to read this Latin book. Easy to read and refresh your Latin knowledge after "Familia Romana".

Nice little book 80 pages - v short as the other reviewers suggested but the tales do take the reading in the main book (lingua latina) quite a bit forward. Also has declensions and vocabulary which is handy if you forget a few words. Only covers the first 24 chapters so you may like Syra's Fables to add onto this book.

A very good supplement to LINGVA LATINA: Familia Romana

Great little booklet which support the main book, using it chapters as a base and extends on the chapter in the main book. Understanding and exercise of main book material are increased by little discussions between some of the characters in the main book

excellent

Me gusta que tiene glosario

This little book has supplementary stories from Familia Romana. Some of them have some very funny parts! Orberg was not only a Latin scholar, evidently, he was also a good storyteller. The little stories reinforce grammar from FR and provide backstory to the material in FR. You get a "behind the scenes" look at what else happened when the doctor came to see Quintus, or what befell Medus en route to Rome, etc. I'm surprised at how much life Orberg was able to breathe into these characters that I've only ever met in a foreign language, and this book continues that process. I've been told it is important to get exposure to Latin everyday for the most effective learning, and these little stories are a painless way to get in a few pages when you have five minutes to kill. Usually though, I end up reading more than one story at a time, just because they are kind of fun and easy to read (at least once you've read the relevant FR chapter). I would certainly recommend this as an excellent companion to the FR series, and a good supplement in general to provide some everyday Latin exposure.

É um ótimo complemento ao Lingua Latina 1. As histórias são curtas, mas consolidam o vocabulário das lições.
