Early access: the full Latin course, free for now. Learn Latin the way you actually remember it — by answering questions, not memorising tables. LatinLearn takes you from your very first Latin words to reading real Latin, one short lesson at a time. Every idea is broken into bite-sized questions — parsing, meaning, and translating real phrases — so progress feels steady and never overwhelming. • Start from zero — no prior Latin needed • Short lessons that fit your day • Learn grammar through use, with gentle hints, not rote rules • Build toward reading real Latin authors • Track your progress and keep a daily streak • Taught in English, French, German or Italian — your choice Whether you are learning for pleasure or taking Latin at school, LatinLearn meets you where you are. The vocabulary is built on the DCC Core — the frequency list behind the National Latin Exam and most college syllabi — and the grammar takes you from the first declension through participles and indirect statement to the subjunctive. You learn to produce Latin as well as read it, until the forms come without thinking and real Latin starts to open up.

Classica is a complete Latin learning platform: a textbook, a tutor, and a flashcard deck in one app. Instead of memorizing phrases, you actively master how Latin works: its grammar, its forms, its vocabulary, and its literature. And it's completely free, with no ads and no subscriptions. Whether you're starting your first Latin course, preparing for an exam, teaching a class, or returning to the language after years away, Classica meets you where you are and grows with you. WHAT YOU CAN DO A protocol-driven grammar engine generates and parses every form: noun and adjective declensions, verb conjugations, participles, infinitives, pronouns, and the irregular forms that textbooks leave you to guess. Browse full paradigms, or tap any word to see exactly why it's in the case, tense, or mood it's in. Sharpen your recall with fill-in-the-blank exercises, table completion, multiple-choice, timed drills, and free response. Difficulty adjusts to your performance, so you spend your time on what you haven't mastered yet. Work through Latin-to-English and English-to-Latin translation with clear, sentence-level grammar feedback that explains your choices instead of just marking them right or wrong. A spaced-repetition system (SM-2) schedules each vocabulary review for the moment you're about to forget, so words move into long-term memory efficiently. Study the frequency-ranked core vocabulary, build your own custom sets, and track your mastery word by word. Grow beyond exercises with a library of annotated passages. Tap any word to parse it in context, read contextual notes, and check your understanding with comprehension questions. Analyze Latin poetry with automatic syllabification, vowel-quantity marking, elision detection, and full dactylic-hexameter scansion with a build in line reader—the perfect companion for Virgil, Ovid, and beyond. Hear the language using our text to speech model designed specifically with Latin in mind. Our model truly understands all of Latin's quirks and can read lines of poetry aloud so you can hear the rhythm of the writing. Build a real feel for Latin sentence structure with focused syntax practice that turns grammar rules into intuition. Search through our database of over 58,000 words with full forms and definitions. All that and it works offline, so your dictionary is always with you. An included Latin keyboard makes macrons and long marks effortless, so you can write vowels with their quantities without fighting your device. Streaks, XP, mastery rings, and per-category analytics keep you motivated, while an optional daily reminder helps you keep your momentum. A word, quote, or fact of the day greets you each time you open the app. DESIGNED WITH CARE Classica is built to feel like a single, coherent product. A warm parchment-and-ink aesthetic inspired by illuminated manuscripts and imperial Rome, with full light and dark modes. Create a free account to back up your progress and sync it across your iPhone and iPad, or use the app without signing in: your progress is saved on your device either way. OUR MISSION We believe high-quality Latin education should be available to everyone, regardless of experience or budget. That's why Classica is free, ad-free, and free of subscriptions. There is no premium tier, no paywalls, no catches. Just the tools we wished existed for learning Latin. Ready to master Latin, actively? Download Classica and begin today.
