Textbook
A graded reader and grammar built on the Vulgate, the Missal, and the Breviary. Each chapter takes its vocabulary and its examples from texts the student will meet again at Mass.
Lingua SacraInstituteThe curriculum is being written now. Everything below will be published free or as low-cost as we can make it, part by part as it is finished — beginning with the first units of the textbook and their exercises. Donors are what allow us to release it that way.

A graded reader and grammar built on the Vulgate, the Missal, and the Breviary. Each chapter takes its vocabulary and its examples from texts the student will meet again at Mass.
Drills, translation, and composition for every chapter, with answer keys — usable on paper or alongside the Reader.
Units, schedules, and assessments for classrooms, homeschools, and seminary formation — so a teacher can pick up the course and begin.
Recorded instruction following the textbook, with separate talks on pronunciation and on the place of Latin in the Church.
You do not have to wait for the textbook to begin. Two of our programs are live already: listen to the Vulgate read aloud in Latin while following the text, and look up any word or inflected form as you read.
