FAQs
What's LLPSI?
LLPSI is short for the title of our book: Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata (The Latin Language Illustrated Through Itself).
What is the best way to use LLPSI?
Read the book. It's all in Latin and the more you read through the book, the more you will understand. It may take time, but the more you practice reading the Latin and inferring the meaning of the words through the context of the book, chapter, page, and sentences, the more you will naturally develop your own internal and intuitive understanding of Latin.
"HELP! I CAN'T FIND MY LLPSI BOOK AND MUST READ LINGUA LATINA FOR HOMEWORK!!!!"
Have no fear! You may read it here at the Internet Archive. You still should try to find your book, though.
"HELP! I CAN'T FIND MY EXERCITIA HOMEWORK BOOK!!!!"
Good news! Internet Archive also has a copy of this book. Print the necessary homework pages from the pdf and I'll accept that as classwork. Do try to find your physical copy.
Where can I find a copy of our homework for the week?

**Daily Dose of Latin is a daily video series that screen-casts one verse of the New Testament Vulgate and guides students in pronouncing, parsing, and more. Although it is designed for Seminarians, Pastors, and Clergy, it's free for anyone who wants to learn Latin from the Vulgate New Testament.
It is directed by Tyler Flatt, Assistant Professor of Humanities at Boyce College in Louisville, KY. If you are interested in learning Latin with helpful videos that explain Latin, this is a tremendous resource that's also available on YouTube. Daily Dose of Latin is a sister series alongside Daily Dose of Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic.
Luke Ranieri is the man who introduced me to Lingua Latina. He is a master teacher, philologist, student of Latin history, and speaks Latin fluently. Yes, fluently. He even has a fantastic video series of him teaching Latin with the same method that Lingua Latina uses.
