Claude Code slash commands for drilling **Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata** (LLPSI) by Hans Ørberg — *Familia Romana* (Pars I), all 35 chapters.
|
||
|
||
## What this is
|
||
|
||
A set of 36 markdown files that turn Claude Code into a per-chapter Latin tutor. The umbrella command `/llpsi` dispatches to per-chapter commands `/llpsi-c1` through `/llpsi-c35`, each preloaded with the chapter's vocabulary, grammar, common error patterns, and an exercise menu.
|
||
|
||
Designed for **active drilling, not first exposure** — the assumption is that you've already read the chapter (and the corresponding *Colloquium Personarum*, where applicable) and want exercises plus error-explanation.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
Drop the files into your Claude Code commands directory:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cp llpsi*.md ~/.claude/commands/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
That's it. Claude Code picks them up as slash commands automatically.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
- `/llpsi` — greet, list chapters, ask what to drill.
|
||
- `/llpsi 7` — drill chapter 7 (Puella et Rosa).
|
||
- `/llpsi 4 imperative` — drill imperatives in chapter 4.
|
||
- `/llpsi 5 ablative` — drill ablative in chapter 5.
|
||
- `/llpsi vocab 3` — vocab-only drill for chapter 3.
|
||
- `/llpsi review 1-5` — cumulative review across chapters 1–5.
|
||
|
||
You can also invoke per-chapter commands directly: `/llpsi-c8`, `/llpsi-c12 comparative`, etc.
|
||
|
||
## Pedagogy
|
||
|
||
Each chapter file follows a consistent structure:
|
||
- **Vocabulary** introduced in that chapter
|
||
- **Grammar** introduced (paradigms, tables, rules)
|
||
- **Common error patterns** — what students typically get wrong, and why
|
||
- **Exercise menu** — 10 drill types, ordered roughly by difficulty
|
||
- **Session start** behavior
|
||
|
||
Pacing principle: **single-concept items first**, escalating to compound integration only after the basics are solid. The aim is a high first-try success rate (~80%+) so the student gets more wins per item, rather than compound items that produce 2-correct-1-wrong outcomes that feel like failure.
|
||
|
||
Exercise types follow Ørberg's own PENSVM progression:
|
||
1. Inflect (single form)
|
||
2. Fill-in-the-blank — endings only (PENSVM A)
|
||
3. Fill-in-the-blank — whole words (PENSVM B)
|
||
4. Parse
|
||
5. Q&A in Latin (PENSVM C)
|
||
6. Spot the error
|
||
7. Latin → English translation
|
||
8. English → Latin translation (hardest; scaffolded)
|
||
|
