Sermocinando is how you learn Latin by speaking it — not by memorising it. Open the app, choose a character — an emperor, a philosopher, a queen — and start a spoken conversation. You talk, they answer in living Latin, with subtitles to follow along and a grammar note when you need one. SPEAK, DON'T REPEAT Hold, speak, release: the character listens and replies in their own voice. No quizzes, no blanks to fill in — a real conversation that grows with you. VOICES FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD From Cicero to Cleopatra, from Caesar to Marcus Aurelius: each with their own voice and character. They call you by name and remember what you talked about. UNDERSTAND AS YOU LISTEN Restored classical pronunciation, subtitles that build word by word in sync with the voice, discreet grammar notes. The level adapts to you. ITINERA — GUIDED JOURNEYS For when you want a route: staged journeys with goals, progressive unlocks and a laurel wreath at the finish. YOUR LATIN GROWS New words you meet come back on their own in later conversations, at the right moment to make them stick. Active review, with no lists to memorise. BUILT FOR iOS Native interface, dark mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver. Interface available in Italian, English, Latin, French, German and Spanish. Your progress follows you across all your devices.

Normally in a class I hesitate to speak, because my spoken Latin skills aren’t great. But with this app I’m not self-conscious, and am able to speak Latin much more easily. I like too the way it gives feedback about errors in a very gentle way. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, David — this means a great deal to us. You've captured the very heart of what Sermocinando is meant to be: a space to practice speaking and writing Latin without the fear of being judged, at whatever level you're at. That "gentle feedback" you mention it's the whole philosophy behind the app, so reading that it works for you is the best confirmation we could hope for. And beyond this review: thank you for the constant exchanges and thoughtful suggestions. Your input has genuinely accelerated several of the features you now see in the app. Gratias plurimas tibi agimus! ## Frequently asked questions about Sermocinando ### How does Sermocinando teach Latin?

Five new itinera: the Roman house, the cena, the school, slaves and freedmen, the provinces. Among the new personae there is one who cooks with what you have at home: say which ingredients you have and you get real recipes, from their own book. Some of the new personae quote their own works, others their own words: always from the authentic text. ### 2.4.14 — 2026-08-26 Internal stability and performance improvements. ### 2.4.13 — 2026-08-24 Voice speed: speeding up the voice no longer alters its timbre.
