The primary goal of Legentibus is to make Latin accessible, enjoyable, and truly immersive. What is Legentibus? Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps into the language or an advanced learner seeking to deepen your understanding, Legentibus offers a dynamic platform that transforms Latin from a static subject into a living, breathing language. It serves as both a comprehensive library and a learning tool, bringing the essence of Latin texts to life with synchronized audio and interactive features. How Does Legentibus Work? Legentibus operates on a simple yet powerful concept: immersive learning. Here's how it works:
1) Extensive Library of Latin Texts: The app offers a curated collection of Latin texts, ranging from beginner stories and textbooks to classical literature by authors like Cicero, Tacitus, and Erasmus. These texts are organized by difficulty level, allowing you to choose materials that match your proficiency.
2) Synchronized Audio: Each text is paired with synchronized audio, allowing you to listen to Latin as you read. This dual engagement with the language enhances comprehension and retention, making it easier to internalize the rhythm, tone, and nuances of Latin.
3) Integrated Learning Tools: To aid your understanding, Legentibus includes built-in dictionaries, translations, grammatical notes, and commentaries. These tools are just a tap away, enabling you to explore the language deeply without breaking the flow of reading.
4) Personalized Reading Plans: For those who prefer structured learning, Legentibus provides guided reading plans. These plans are tailored to help you progress from simple stories to more complex texts, ensuring a steady development of your Latin skills.
5) Flexible Learning Options: Whether you prefer to read along with the audio, listen while on the go, or dive into detailed grammatical analysis, Legentibus adapts to your learning style. You can adjust the narration speed, change text size, or switch to dark mode for comfortable reading in different environments. The Purpose of Legentibus

The primary goal of Legentibus is to make Latin accessible, enjoyable, and truly immersive. Traditional methods of Latin learning often focus on grammar drills and rote memorization, which can be tedious and disconnected from the language’s original context. Legentibus breaks away from this by offering a more natural, story-driven approach. By engaging with Latin in its original form—whether through ancient myths, historical texts, or classical literature—you gain a deeper, more intuitive understanding of the language. Legentibus is not just about learning Latin; it's about experiencing it. It's designed for anyone who loves Latin, whether you're an autodidact, a student, a teacher, or simply an enthusiast. The app helps you build a sustainable reading habit, enhances your fluency, and offers a seamless integration of Latin into your daily life.

Have you ever heard the story of Octavianus/Augustus and the learned birds? When the emperor was so amused by talking birds that he spent quite a fortune on them?

It is originally a story told by Macrobius, but you can find it in an adapted version in Walter Madeley's "Noctes Latinae" along with an array of other classical stories. Perfect for advanced readers seeking classical storytelling in elegant Latin.

"Num vos viri minus fortes eritis?"

The words of Boadicea are from "Pro patria", a Latin novella written by E. A. Sonnenschein.

Boadicea was a queen of the ancient British Iceni tribe, who led an uprising against the forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61 and is considered a British national heroine.

"Pro Patria" is written as a two-part diary in which a schoolboy writes about his year. He learns about British Roman history, and he shares his perspective on the Boer War through correspondence with his family.

"Pro Patria" is read by Joel Derfner in a classical pronunciation and is appropriate for the upper beginner or lower intermediate student

There are so many features in Legentibus. One of my favourites (𝘩𝘪, 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦) is a rather simple one, but O! so important for my reading experience: it’s the ability to change font.

So in any book, tap the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner, then head for the little button showing AA. Here you can choose if you want Serif or Sans serif, or Open Dyslexic. You can also change the size and spacing.

Why do I find this so useful? Well, I really like fonts in serifs, it makes me feel like I’m reading an old book. However, if I’m in studymood and really need to grasp something I might opt for sans serif or open dyslexic to keep my focus and not drift into reading-dreaming-land. Anyway, that’s just me. 😊

I (𝘩𝘪, 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦) took this picture just this morning. It was magical. In Sweden we’ve always had this belief that mist or fog was the fairies that were out danceing.

So, I figured I needed to tell everyone to read some fairytales today! Or, if you prefer: get a head start to ghoststories (there is an entire category with good Halloween stuff on Legentibus).

Good reading!

Caesar’s “De Bello Gallico, liber 1” sits at the top of the most popular books in our literature category, closely followed by Augustine’s “Confessionum, liber 1”.

Slightly different subjects and style… but both worth reading!

Autumn is creeping up on us, the days are getting shorter, it’s getting darker and darker. Time to snuggle under a blanket with a cup of tea, light your oil lamp and read your favourite book in Latin.

Luckily, all Legentibus’ books are available in dark mode so as to not mess up the mood. Just tap the tre dots in the upper right hand corner to find your way.

Most popular beginner story the last couple of weeks has been Daniel’s “Orpheus and Eurydice”. The story retells the tragic myth about the love between Orpheus, the son of Apollo, and the mountain nymph Eurydice.

I just looked at some stats… in August you all spent a whooping 894.278 minutes studying, reading and listening in Legentibus. That equals 621 days!

So far in September you’ve reached 488.695 minutes (339 days).

Will you beat August? I think so.

Keep up the excellent work!
