Lapicida Latinus: Learn Latin

You don't have to hurl menhirs to master Latin. Lapicida – the complete Latin system.

Any app can teach vocabulary. But understanding Latin means more: recognising forms with confidence, analysing sentences, reading real ancient texts. Lapicida combines all four steps into one learning path – from your very first word to original texts by Cicero, Caesar or Virgil.

Whether you're in Year 10 trying to survive the next school year, or in your third semester needing to pass the Latinum – it's all here in one app.

THE LEARNING PATH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

① VOCABULARY — with AI photo scan
Photograph your textbook page: the AI recognises the words automatically and matches them against over 13,000 entries. Works with Cursus, Felix, Prima and any other textbook. 10 varied modes – from multiple choice through chunks and Tetris to the new Ruina mode – build lasting memory through spaced repetition.

② FORMS — in real context
Declension and conjugation never as an abstract table, always embedded in real sentences. Nouns, adjectives, pronouns, participles – all tenses, all moods – with live feedback on case, number and mood.

③ SENTENCES — the didactic heart
Over 2,900 hand-curated real sentences from classical literature. Across 15 progressive areas – from subject & predicate through ACI and NCI to the ablative absolute and the gerund. You analyse real sentences, not made-up textbook examples.

④ READING — the goal
As soon as you master a grammar area, matching original texts unlock: Cicero, Caesar, Sallust, Livy, Virgil, the Vulgate – over 70 text collections, level-adapted with vocabulary help. No other provider takes you this directly from your first word to a genuine original text.
