You don't need to throw menhirs to master Latin. Just open Lapicida. Any app can teach you words. Understanding Latin takes more: recognising forms, analysing sentences, reading real ancient texts. Lapicida joins all four steps into one path – from your first word to Cicero, Caesar, Virgil or Plinius in the original. For homeschool and classical education, for GCSE and A-Level, for a university Latin requirement, or for picking Latin back up on your own. Lapicida follows your pace. Try it free. THE PATH TO YOUR LATIN EXAM 0. UNDA – THE WAY IN One reading text becomes your practice course: its words, its forms, its sentence parts. As you practise, the text writes itself. A hint and an explanation sit on every card, and a teacher's texts appear inside Unda. 1. VOCABULARY WITH AI PHOTO SCAN Photograph a page from your book: the AI picks out the words and matches them against more than 11,600 entries – whichever textbook you use. 13 practice modes, from Tetris to Ruina, train your memory through spaced repetition. 2. FORMS IN REAL CONTEXT Never learn declension and conjugation as an abstract table again. Nouns, adjectives, pronouns and participles inside real sentences, with immediate feedback on case, number and mood. 3. SENTENCES – THE HEART OF IT More than 3,100 hand-curated practice sentences, written for exactly the form you are working on. Analyse each part step by step across 15 areas that build on one another – from subject and predicate through ACI and NCI to the ablative absolute. 4. READING – THE GOAL When you are ready, matching texts unlock: Cicero, Caesar, Sallust, Livy, Virgil, the Vulgate. Over 130 text collections, matched to your level, with vocabulary help and sentence quiz. WRITING, CURRICULUM, STORY WRITE INSTEAD OF TYPE Latin is learned by hand. Write your answers with an Apple Pencil or your finger – in the vocabulary trainer, throughout the forms trainer, and in Stone by Stone. You decide what the pen is for: writing, drawing, both, or nothing. Nothing is forced – for a learner with dyslexia a keyboard is a recognised accommodation, not a shortcut. A CURRICULUM, NOT A PILE OF TOPICS Four years, clearly ordered: what you learn in the first carries the second. Forms, sentences and reading follow the same progression – on their own, or aligned to a German school textbook: six presets plus Studium Latinum. A teacher or parent can set the current lesson for everyone; "My Area" shows where you are. A STORY THAT GROWS WITH YOU 64 reading texts of our own for the first three years tell one story – in Latin and English, every sentence voiced. In the Reader, the sentences you solved grow together into a text you actually read. WHAT MAKES LAPICIDA DIFFERENT BUILT FOR DYSLEXIC LEARNERS, FROM EXPERIENCE Colours that carry meaning (subject blue, predicate red), OpenDyslexic, wider letter spacing, your own pace. Built by someone who learned Latin with dyslexia. PRONUNCIATION YOU CAN HEAR More than 28,000 voiced words, forms and sentences in classical Latin pronunciation. NO PRESSURE, NO STREAK ANXIETY No lost points, no broken streaks. The system forgives typos and measures mastery, not attendance. PRIVACY-FRIENDLY, GDPR-COMPLIANT No ads, no forced account, no sharing of your data. Practice, forms and reading work offline; the photo scan, the audio and syncing need a connection. FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS: THE OFFICINA Your own word lists, class management, progress at a glance. School licences on request. WHO IS IT FOR?
