I'm wondering what is needed for the first level of study.
It seems that the following are needed: Familia Romana interactive Latin course (computer version with readings of 31 chapters) Exercitia Latina I Lingua Latina Teacher's manual (the answer key) Colloquia Personarum (stories) Latine Disco (student manual) Is that all, or can you do it with less? Has anyone tried the CD-ROM of the course? Is it worth the extra $6 to hear the readings? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, Juan.
I saw the college companion before, and reviews said it replaces the Disco Latine and the Grammatica. I didn't see the vocabulary book before. I don't know if the college companion will take care of that, too. So it seems to start: Familia Romana - CD-ROM Exercitia Colloquia Personarum College companion (I think it has answers to the exercitia) Possibly the vocabulary book, but I think the above book has the vocabulary in it 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you're going to by working at the computer, you might as well use this for a dictionary. It is a fabulous resource. There's even a downloadable version for working offline.
In my case this is the set I put together for the first part of the course: * Lingua latina per se illustrata, pars I: Familia romana * Exercitia latina I * A College Companion based on Hans Orberg's Latine disco, with Vocabulary and Grammar * Teachers' Materials & Answer Keys for Pars I & II * Colloquia personarum * Sermones romani * Caesaris: Commentarii de bello gallico 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I think that the CD do have the exercises, though I'm not sure. Bear in mind though, that the programme is really
old and thus can be a little tricky (see Amazon reviews for info about that, I've never used the programme myself - I have the books and audio). The college companion does have vocabulary! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks.
There is a new version of the CD available. I was wondering if anyone used it because it doesn't have any reviews yet. It says it has interactive pensa, I don't know if that's referring to the exercises in Familia Romana or the Exercitia. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry to go off topic, but I was wondering: has anyone used the course "Learn to Read Latin"? I might be interested in this course.
It comes up twice in a search, both mentioned by the same person. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've looked in it and it's basically the same old grammar-point, example sentences, vocab, translate-book as most Latin courses have been since 1700 AD. 1 person has voted this message useful |
