Love this app

Before I was buying 10+ easy Latin readers a year but most had no audio or I had to pay for the audio in addition. With Legentibus I have many readers and they all come with excellent audio (I can just listen but I usually try to speak along =shadow the speaker) and if I don’t understand a phrase I can push a button and get an English interlinear and the go back to the Latin only. I can push another button and get an explanation of any tricky bits in the reading,) I can read and listen when I ride my exercise bike). Some of the longer books have an audio only version so I can listen to them when I am driving the car or going for a walk. I can get out my phone or iPad when I am in a waiting room and read and listen to Latin. I am listening to so much more Latin than before. And it is costing less money than before. This is really helping me learn Latin. Thank you Daniel

Very excellent easy fun πŸ‘πŸ‘

I have only used the free books so far, and intend to continue to do so until I’ve squeezed all there is to learn out of them. When I get some spare funds, I will very likely get a subscription.

Pairs well with the book Lingua Latina per se Illustrata; in fact, Lingua Latina appears to be included with the paid subscription, which is a major plus. Even more so given the wonderful dubbing πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ” πŸ›

Best Latin app

This is the best way to study and learn man I’ve ever seen.

Fantastic resource

I love this app. There’s lots of comprehensible input regardless of level with more being added all the time. Being able to look up words with a single touch on the screen as well as having line by line audio makes studying more convenient and efficient, and I’m doing a lot more reading because of it.

This is really good

The interface is clean, attractive and functions well. The quality of the recordings us excellent - the narrator speaks in a clear, attractive Latin and gets an amazing amount of expression into the beginner stories I'm downloading. The stories themselves are also surprisingly fun and interesting considering my limited vocab. The illustrations themselves are also very expressive and charming - even to a 50 year old :-) I'm super happy to have this as a supplement to Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata.

The best language-learning app I’ve ever used!

This app is simply amazing. I am using it every day to help improve my Latin reading, listening, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary skills. I’m now on my 12th book, in the middle of β€œPugio Bruti,” which I love.

I recommend it for Latin students and teachers of ALL levels. It will help you be able to READ Latin fluently.

A brilliant app

This is a brilliant app. Reading while listening is a very powerful tool for language acquisition and the quality of the audio is superb. Well done Latinitium.com! Good range of texts from beginner to advanced. Full reading of LLPSI is worth the subscription alone.

Some verse, please?

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.

Beautiful!

This app is truly delivers on its promise. It contains audiobooks of a diverse set of texts, expertly narrated. Moreover, the macronized texts follow the audio, and also include an English translations. You can click on a word to take you to the definition. You can download resources for offline access. And not to mention, the app design itself is beautiful. This app is _exactly_ what I’ve been needing to accelerate my learning.

Thank you so very, very much!
