“Porta Latina” is making progress

The Latin text is for­mat­ted, macronized and proof­read 🎉. The audio is also almost ready. In addi­tion, I’ve seen that Moore has also writ­ten a quite detailed com­men­tary. I’ll of course add it for you. I always find such notes in the text very help­ful, as they often draw your atten­tion to aspects of the […]

Late night dialogues.

The last cou­ple of days I have been work­ing on a set of dia­logues in the uni­verse of Auda to allow for more review of vocab and syn­tax while still mak­ing it fun–which isnt all that easy when the num­ber of words is very very lim­it­ed. Any­way, this evening, I went down to the local […]

“Porta Latina” (F.G. Moore) in the works

Late­ly we’ve been con­cen­trat­ing main­ly on begin­ner texts (and we’re still work­ing on them, of course), but we’d also like to pub­lish some­thing for the inter­me­di­ate lev­el again. Por­ta Lati­na is a very enter­tain­ing col­lec­tion of 50 fables (based on the ver­sions of La Fontaine) trans­lat­ed into Latin by F.G. Moore. Daniel did an excel­lent […]

🌟 Translation syncing and continuous scrolling

I’m hap­py to announce that we‘ve just released improve­ments to not one, but two cen­tral fea­tures in the app! First, the trans­la­tions are now bet­ter synced with the Latin! So when you’re read­ing the Latin text and want to check the Eng­lish trans­la­tion, it should now be eas­i­er to find the cor­re­spond­ing sec­tion. Sec­ond, the […]

Testing continuous scrolling

Just a quick update on a new fea­ture that I have been work­ing on recent­ly: We’re in the final test­ing stage of a new “con­tin­u­ous scroll” option, and hope to be able to release it to you all very soon! When enabled, this option changes the way the Latin text is pre­sent­ed. Instead of flip­ping […]

🎉 Auda chapter 7 is now out!

After many days of record­ing, edit­ing, trans­lat­ing, illus­trat­ing, and proof lis­ten­ing, we can final­ly announce that the next installe­ment of our adven­ture nov­el for Latin learn­ers is out. Auda and Wulfi­nus are nowhere to be seen and the Romans are furi­ous. Cras­sus is enjoy­ing his vengeance when he gets a pleas­ant sur­prise… Tap here to […]

Auda, chapter VII almost ready

Our work on the sev­enth chap­ter of Auda is mak­ing great progress. The first draft of the trans­la­tion and the com­men­tary are already fin­ished. Now there is still some proof­read­ing and refin­ing to do, but we will be able to pub­lish it very soon!

Book recommendation (intermediate)

Every morn­ing I take about half an hour to read some­thing on Leg­en­tibus that is not direct­ly relat­ed to my work. I’ve just fin­ished read­ing Britain and the Emper­ors again. The title of the book does­n’t sound very excit­ing, but the text pro­vides a real­ly inter­est­ing sketch of the careers of the Cae­sars who had […]

Familia Romana: images and marginal notes coming to Legentibus

We are very hap­py to announce that the first five chap­ters of Famil­ia Romana are now avail­able with the orig­i­nal illus­tra­tions and mar­gin­al notes. Viviana has done an excep­tion­al and dili­gent job with bring­ing these to the Leg­en­tibus ver­sion of Famil­ia Romana! More chap­ters are in the works. The first vol­ume (chap­ters 1–12) of Famil­ia […]

Lots of proofreading

I’ve now added the images and mar­gin­al notes to the first five chap­ters of Famil­ia Romana. We’ll pub­lish a few chap­ters at a time so that you don’t have to wait until I’ve fin­ished all 35 chap­ters. Today I’ll proof­read every­thing sev­er­al times to make sure I haven’t over­looked any notes and that the vow­el […]
