About this app

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 gives you an unsurpassed learning experience. Dive into our growing collection, from beginner stories to works by classical authors such as Cicero or Tacitus.

Download books and audiobooks 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

New titles are added continually, and a regularly updated reading plan is also available.

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
· Glossaries with English definitions
· Grammatical notes
· Commentaries
· Macrons for all texts
· Dark/light mode

LEARN WITH STORIES: EXCLUSIVE LEGENTIBUS-ORIGINALS
Our illustrated Beginner Stories are written in simple language with a unique vocabulary count of 100 to 200 words with additional features:
· Audio
· Translation
· Commentary
They are all 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)
· A Dangerous Journey (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 is attested in Roman literature.

We believe that stories are key to learning Latin efficiently while simultaneously having a good time – which in turn 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

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.

We constantly add resources and make improvements.

WHY IS LEGENTIBUS DIFFERENT?
For a long time, people learned Latin by memorizing declension and conjugation tables, lists of words, and analyzing and translating complex sentences without much context. But Latin is a language, not a puzzle.

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.

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

You can do all the listening, reading, and understanding you need in one place, in Legentibus.

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!!

Thank you very much! Mihi maximo gaudio est haec tua verba legere! We will absolute continue adding more books with audio, translations and more. In fact, I'm putting the finishing touches on a book right now, which we will publish in Legentibus within a few days.If you want to suggest texts or books for recording, just write to info@latinitium.com

Lacks simple quality-of-life features that the majority of audio apps have made available for decades. No Playlist or repeat feature, and the longest "books" I've found are only about 20 minutes long. Refuses to play read-alongs in the background, and not all read-alongs are available as audiobooks. Even in audiobook mode, it crashes every 5 minutes or so. So I have to keep going back in to babysit it. Not usable for multi-tasking. $10/month is way too much for 45 audiobooks totalling 15 hours.

Thank you. Repeat is an interesting feature to add. For the length of the books: most books are far above 20 minutes long, e.g. Agricola (1h36min), Fabulae Faciles (2h32). The beginner stories are generally under 20 minutes, by design to not overwhelm learners. If you have the time please send a screen cast of the crash to info@latinitium.com. Vale

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! ⚔️

Thank you! Regarding the purchasing of individual books, we decided against it in the app, because we felt that if a user bought a book they should be able to use it even outside the app. We will however be selling individual books on our store at Latinitium later.
