Legentibus: Learn Latin

I’ve been wanting to learn Latin for the past year or so, but just never committed to it. This app makes it so incredibly easy and understanding and doesn’t give you stuff you’re never gonna use. The only complaint I have is that I wish there was an option where you could press a word and hear the pronunciation of that word alone (ex “et Dānuvius” being a little confusing on how exactly to say “Dānuvius”). Besides that, AMAZING app

In a world where Latin media is scarce, Legentibus provides. However though a course of progressive vocabulary is set, there’s no vocabulary lists. No post lesson summary. Though Legentibus lists the number of words. It’s gives no breakdowns. There’s no list of the infinitive of what words and their cases were used. No charts of what cases were use is given either. Only Latin text, embedded dictionary, and a reader speaking. I will note here no differentiation has been made of classical or ecclesiastical. If Legentibus gave a breakdown of what vocabulary was used. Then self study would be far easier. In an ideal world, the breakdown would have an adjunct flashcard quiz. Even if of basic meaning it would be immensely helpful for those who consistently know 80% but need help with the last 20%. Additionally being able to mark vocabulary as known or unknown would better help students. From there, books heavy in known or unknown vocabulary could be so marked. Allowing students to determine their challenge level themselves. Critiques aside, Legentibus is off to an excellent start and I will continue with my subscription with hopes of growth.

Everyone download this app and subscribe now. We’re bringing back Latin.

I don’t think I’ve every left a review just because but I feel like I have to for this. This is genuinely the best language learning experience I’ve ever seen. It uses multiple venues of memorization so that the vocab, grammar, and pronunciation really locks into your brain. It’s also has a design that’s really easy to use. No popping open another tab to get the definition of a word you don’t know! Just click and it shows up. When reading the stories you can parse things out on your own while also having the level of assistance you need through vocab help or fully translating the sentence if you’re completely lost. Idk for me it makes it easy to review. I just feel like the way this app was made was with a lot of care and heart. From the clever interface to the stories picked I feel like everything was really poured over by their team. Plus no ai.

I understand that Latin is not necessarily as popular among young people as it was, let’s say, in 700 BC–600s AD in Rome, where they occasionally dabbled in it. But Ive recently grown interested in Ancient History and would love to learn Latin as someone who was starting from scratch. This app is genuinely everything it says it is. I cant express how great it is to learn from people who are ACTUAL experts. I will always recommend this app. More than that, I will always recommend that people who are FULLY committed to learning a language download an app that specializes in it, rather than an app like Duolingo, where it isn’t the main focus. This app is seriously amazing. I hope someday it gets all the attention it deserves. Until then, I will continue talking about it!

I love this is app. After 200 hours using this to learn latin, I can tell you I really enjoy reading in it every day. The stories are so well scaffolded that you really will learn just by reading and listening. Even if just 20 minutes a day. It feels so natural. One of my favorite daily habits. Wether I sit down to read or relisten to the audios versions of stories I like , it has enough content to last you years. In the app, you can also set daily goals for yourself, if you’d like. I like it. Keeps me consistent . Without this app I never would’ve become an intermediate Latin reader
