## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not for beginners

*2024-08-07*

Hiw am I supposed to use this if I can’t read the Greek? Why don’t you teach the alphabet and basic pronunciation? This single starting point is missing from all of the current Ancient Greek language apps. Please give us a leg up and add this to the app. Thanks for considering.

### 2/5 — Difficult for beginners

*2023-09-10*

I was looking for something to help me learn greek while i was in an ancient greek class. This is much too hard for even an intermediate learner.

### 3/5 — Accent errors

*2024-10-26*

Accents for the 1st Declension noun ψυχή are incorrect in the drills. Having a tool to drill grammatical case is cool in theory, though. Not sure about accent issues with other Greek words in the app, but keep an eye out.

### 3/5 — Hanc applicationem amo

*2022-04-12, version 1.1.4*

I have been enjoying this app, But i do think there needs to be someone in charge of fixing up spelling errors as i do get a little lost from certain words. 

But overall its a sturdy app amo amo!

### 4/5 — Good but one tiny thing

*2023-02-05*

This app is very good but every time you answer wrong it adds a new question on, which means you could have done hundreds of them before you finish, if you don’t know too much Latin.

### 4/5 — Good, but contains non-existing Latin forms

*2022-10-18, version 1.1.4*

PERDISCO offers very useful exercises and interactive quizzes focussing on vocabulay (Latin-English, Latin-Dutch), conjugation, declension, historical dates and facts, Roman numerals, and a whole test series by which you can consolidate what you’ve learned so far. 

However, the app creates non-existing Latin word forms (October 2022), especially of some verbs that have no passive voice or just an impersonal passive in the 3rd person singular:

- solere, soleo, solitus sum “to be accoustomed to do” (semi-deponent): the app wants you to conjugate non-existing passive forms in the present stem like *soleor, *soleris, *soletur, *solemur, *solemini, *solentur;

- parere, pareo, parui, paritum (supine) “to appear, to obey”: PERDISCO wants you to form the future perfect of this verb in the passive voice for all six persons like *paritus ero/eris/erit, *pariti erimus/eritis/erunt, although it is only possible to form an impersonal passive in the 3rd person singular - paritum erit;

- like all Latin infinitives, the perfect passive infinitive in its standard form is neuter, e.g. vocatum esse (not *vocatus esse); this form only changes in a sentence containing an accusative with infinitive (vocatum/-am/-um esse, vocatos/-as/-a esse) or a nominative with infinitive (vocatus/-a/-um esse, vocati/-ae/-a esse), so *vocatus esse is just a possible variant appearing under certain circumstances;

- latere, lateo, latui “to conceal, to hide, to lie hidden” has no supine stem and no passive, but PERDISCO wants you to create a non-existing perfect passive infinitive *latitus esse;

Additionally, the app contains a few incorrect word forms which I consider to be typos:
- *tenitus = tentus (perfect participle of tenere, teneo, tenui, tentum)
- *facinoria, *facinorium = facinora, facinorum (nom./acc. pl., gen. pl. of facinus, facinoris n., 3rd declension, no i-stem)

I only checked the Latin section, and the things I pointed out above are just some mistakes I notice here and there. Maybe there are more, maybe there aren’t. But I invite the creator(s) of PERDISCO to make an update of this very useful app, so that absolute beginners don’t learn and create forms that simply don’t exist. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Suitable for advanced beginners

*2022-07-30*

I haven’t been using this app for long, but it’s already been very handy and easy to use. This is a great place to dip your toe into the Latin and Greek pool, especially if you’ve already completed the short two-unit Latin course on Duolingo. 

Thanks to the developer for making this free!

### 5/5 — I am so glad I found this!

*2025-01-25*

I have been loving this app and highly recommend it for daily simple practice. I love that it is customizable and I hope that they can't keep it updated and maintain so I can use this for years.

### 5/5 — Kind of useful

*2022-07-03, version 1.1.4*

Smart-ish flash cards. I personally prefer learning with some extra context, but Latin is very traditional with “rote learning” so shouldn’t expect too much.

### 5/5 — Great app + some ideas

*2022-06-02, version 1.1.4*

The app is free and that is very much appreciated. However, I have some ideas 💡 for nice features:

• As I am a German, I would welcome a translation m🇩🇪
• A tutorial on how to properly use the app
• Although the ancient languages aren’t spoken anymore, audio-clips for pronunciation would help with memorising words

Best,
…
