## What is Liberation Philology Latin?

Learning a language is a complex and multi-layered process, which no computer can automate, but the study of Latin also involves extensive memorisation, which is where Liberation Philology Latin can help.

Liberation Philology Latin drills you on Latin vocabulary and grammar, through a continuous multiple-choice test that's instantly available wherever you have your phone and a free moment. Your answers are immediately confirmed or corrected, and reinforced through repetition.

• Vocabulary: 200 levels of basic vocabulary, each testing the translation of 10 words between Latin and English. Additional sections cover the vocabulary of Book I of the Aeneid in sequence (148 levels), intermediate vocabulary (300 levels), and Cicero's In Catilinam I and Pro Caelio (82 and 66 levels). Interspersed among these are cumulative levels reviewing what has been learned earlier (giving a total of 898 levels).

• Nouns: Tests your ability to parse and decline all classes of Latin nouns.

• Adjectives & Pronouns: Tests your ability to recognise and decline Latin adjectives, pronouns, and pronominal adjectives.

• Verbs: Tests your ability to parse and conjugate regular and irregular Latin verbs.

• Participles: Tests your ability to recognise and decline Latin participles.

A further Reference module allows you to review the vocabulary word-list and paradigms.

### 5/5 — Great! But important to note:

*2026-02-26*

I feel that this app, while great for revising, is not to be used by absolute beginners with no knowledge. It’s fantastic in the way that it reinforces and allows you to practice your skills, but it does not explain them. This must come from somewhere else. As of writing this, I am a first semester first year Latin student, and it’s perfect for me. If I wasn’t some weeks into my course however, I would struggle. So in all, it’s a great companion, not a teacher.

### 5/5 — odd layout

*2025-02-10*

Good app, but the way it lays out noun declensions etc is not standard.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2025-01-24*

I love this app. I slept on it, keeping it in my app drawer for a long time. Dug it out and decided to toy with it and I’m so glad I did. It’s got several features for vocabulary, grammar, and much more! I also love how you can select your course based on works in Latin, so, say you want to learn the words and grammar necessary to read Virgil, you can focus on just that. If you’re learning Latin, give it a spin.

### 1/5 — Good app but hate Latin

*2023-11-12*

It asked me if I liked Latin when it asked for a review so I gave it one star, however if it asked me if I liked the app I would have given it 5. Latin is the worst class I‘ve ever taken. Miss M ruined my 4.0.

### 5/5 — Optime!

*2023-10-14*

Amazing app, totally worth it. Reviews everything well and completely. A+

### 5/5 — Great Drills!

*2023-01-25*

Either you know it or you don’t! Nouns, verbs, adjectives, and vocabulary are all there.  Card set for CLC vocab sets would be nice. I use this app a lot! Thank You.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-12-31*

👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — helpful and a bit addictive!

*2022-11-27*

Once I realized this was a revision tool and not a 'teach yourself' app, and learned my way around it, I've found it the perfect way to encourage me to memorize those noun and verb endings.

### 5/5 — University Course

*2022-11-12*

This App is really helpful. Especially the Deklination/Conjugation exercises are worth the money. I just couldn’t find the exercise for Pronomina if there are any.

### 3/5 — Testing through repetition

*2022-06-27*

This app has promise, however, it doesn’t test on words learned in previous levels. Setting it to level 50 (e.g.) should test you on the ten words at that level but also throw in some older ones to ensure you still remember them. Instead, you must manually work through all the levels again. There are a lot of words but it is frustrating to be limited to 10 at a time.
