Description

Read and listen to Latin anytime and anywhere with Legentibus, from beginner to advanced level.

LEARN BY READING & LISTENING

Legentibus is a language learning app and a library carefully curated for anyone interested in the Latin language. The unique combination of Latin texts with synchronized audio and integrated dictionaries gives you an unsurpassed learning experience. Dive into our ever-growing collection, from beginner stories to works by classical authors such as Cicero or Tacitus.

Download your choices to your device to listen and read offline wherever you are.


EXPLORE BEGINNER STORIES, TEXTBOOKS, LITERATURE

Legentibus contains plenty of materials for learning, studying, or simply enjoying Latin:

· Stories for beginners

· Textbooks and readers such as Familia Romana and Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles

· Roman myths and history

· Latin literature by authors such as Caesar, Cicero, Sallust, and Erasmus

· And more!


READING PLAN

Navigate your Latin journey with ease. Our guided plan takes the guesswork out of choosing, leading you from beginner tales to intricate literature.


CREATE A SOLID STUDY HABIT

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.


BEYOND TRADITIONAL APPS

Legentibus stands distinct. While other apps may focus on isolated memorization, we emphasize deep immersion and understanding.

We made this app to help Latin learners set and achieve their goals, no matter how varied they might be.

Engage with Latin in its full context as a dynamic, living language.

Wow!

I’ve been looking for audio books in Latin for some time in order to help me understand pronunciation and have found nothing ! And then I discovered this app with Latin books and their audio all in one place. Don’t understand a word? You can tap it and the dictionary comes up. You can adjust the reading speed too. I would have preferred to have bought each text rather than pay a subscription - but there is so much on here I’m certain it’ll end up being cheaper this way!!
I wish there were apps like this for other languages!

Great idea but dodgy investment

Daniel's content is excellent and his work impeccable. I wish him every success. However, as a consumer, I am less than keen to use an App to make audio and ebook purchases. Firstly, the content is restricted to this app, on a phone only. It does not appear to work on desktop devices. Secondly, the downloads will only work as long as the app itself is supported. That's fine so long as Daniel is around and working on it. But there is no guarantee that Daniel won't at some point want a career change, or find this isn't a good platform for him. In short, these files could work as audiobooks (the tech supports this these days in epub). Wrapping everything with DRM and tying content to an app is I think unfortunate.

Returning to study

I began learning Latin many years ago and have a good grasp of the basic grammar. However getting from that point to being able to read original text is daunting. This app solves that problem giving the opportunity to practice the basics and see the usage in context in a way which embeds an understanding. I’m working through systematically and very much look forward to graduating to the original texts with the kind of support that makes my goal achievable. Many thanks for this brilliant resource.
