A companion to Lingua Latina
Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata teaches Latin through Latin: you read, and the meaning comes from the story, the pictures and the margin. This companion goes chapter by chapter through Familia Rōmāna: the 1,896 new words, each with a definition in Latin, a picture where there is one, and its full entry. Read the chapter first, then come here.

Where to go next
Ørberg's second volume, Rōma Aeterna, moves to real Roman authors. Graded readers in the same spirit, glossed in Latin, make the step easier:
Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is by Hans H. Ørberg, published by Domus Latina and in North America by Hackett. This companion is independent and not affiliated with them; it lists which words each chapter introduces and links them to this dictionary. You need the book itself to read the chapters.
