Hello everyone
Has anyone heard of/does anyone know where I can find "English by the Nature Method", "Le français par la méthode nature" or "L'Italiano secondo il "metodo natura" by Arthur Jensen? These are books based on the 'Direct Method' and appear to have been published by "The Nature Method Publishing Companies" (which I can find almost no trace of). I think they inspired the "Lingua Latina" series by Hans Henning Orberg judging by the few traces I've managed to find of them. Has anyone heard of these books/know if they're in copyright/where I can get them? Edit: Just found a similar book to the Lingua Latina book by William G.Most called "Latin by the Natural Method".

The moderators may frown on this. But as these books appear to be out of print, and used copies are difficult to obtain (at least in my attempts), I mention something I just stumbled upon:
Do a google search for "English by the Nature Method", perhaps with "scribd" included in the search query. You may be pleasantly surprised. Also, check the user's other books. You may also find the French and Italian books you were looking for. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

There is some background information (in Spanish, with links to scholar articles) in this page: http://www.culturaclasica.com/lingualatina/informacion.htm .
his Italian site is openly hosting them, along with some other very old materials, so I guess that nowadays they are in the public domain. http://www.vivariumnovum.it/edizioni/index.php/Libri/Il-meto do-diretto-applicato-alle- lingue-moderne.html 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm about 200 pages in on the Italian. If you like the LLPSI, you'll be down with the Italian. Added bonus: IPA
pronunciation is printed below the text for the first several chapters. 1 person has voted this message useful |
