Set a daily study goal and track your progress to create a good study habit – a foundation for language learning.


DISCOVER FEATURES THAT WILL IMPROVE YOUR LEARNING

All books come not just with Latin audio but also with additional help. Depending on the book, different features are available, such as:

· English translations or interlinear translations

· Built-in dictionaries with English definitions

· Grammatical notes

· Commentaries

· Macrons for all texts


LEARN WITH STORIES: EXCLUSIVE LEGENTIBUS-ORIGINALS

Our illustrated Beginner Stories are written with a unique vocabulary count of 100 to 200 words with additional features:

· Audio

· Translation

· Commentary

They are grounded in history or literature – in classical myths, fables, medieval stories, or historical events, e.g.:

· The Knight and the Magician (medieval)

· Phrixus and Helle (classical)

· Orpheus and Eurydice (classical)

· The Strange Death of Milo (classical)

· The Statue and the Treasure (medieval)

That way, you will learn more than the language itself. We go to great lengths to ensure that the vocabulary and syntax are attested in Roman literature.

We believe that stories are vital for learning Latin efficiently while simultaneously having a good time, which enhances your learning.


WHO IS THIS LANGUAGE APP FOR?

Legentibus was created for:

· Complete beginners to advanced Latin learners

· Autodidacts and enthusiasts

· Students and researchers

· Latin speakers who want to improve their skills

· Schools

With an easy-to-use interface, learning is natural and stress-free. In addition, a curated library with a reading plan facilitates long-term success.


WHY IS LEGENTIBUS DIFFERENT?

It is essential to experience Latin as a language: a medium for communicating something, be it philosophy, history, or a simple story. The only way to achieve true reading fluency in Latin is to listen and read as much Latin as possible from the start.

Ratings and reviews

So glad to find an app for actual classical Latin. Although there's a place (a very small place) for "modern" Latin talking about traveling to NYC or ordering at a restaurant, it's not really useful (looking at you, duolingo). I took Latin years ago, and I want to brush up on it and read actual Latin texts. This app will help with that.

Mirabile auditu! Super Teacher, Magister Pettersson's latin book app. What a great product! Very polished despite only being released a short while ago. No ads, and very reasonably priced . One of my new favorite tools for learning latin. I use it whenever I have a little time but don't want to pull out a physical book. I hope you continue to add more books with audio and translations. Gratias tibi ago!!

I love this app! The UI is beautiful, and the concept for learning Latin is solid. I have only one issue: would it be possible to include the option of purchasing individual books/recordings rather than paying for the subscription? Not because the price is unreasonable, but because it would at least allow users access to some content so they can decide from there whether they want to subscribe or not. Multas gratias tibi ago, sodale! ⚔️
