Lectio (291113)

Read Latin, Greek, and more in the original — guided word by word through a calm five-stage reading cycle. No streaks, no noise. Just you and the text.

Lectio is a quiet, focused reader for learning classical and foreign languages by reading the original texts — slowly and deeply.

Instead of flashcards and gamified streaks, Lectio puts the real text in front of you and walks you through it with a gentle five-stage cycle for every paragraph:

1. Read the original.
2. See a word-for-word interlinear translation beneath each word, with pronunciation.
3. Read the original again, with the meaning fresh in mind.
4. Compare it side by side with a natural English translation.
5. Read it once more — then mark "I've got it" or try again.

Browse a growing library of public-domain works in their original language — Latin, Ancient Greek, Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian and more — from Caesar and Virgil to Dante, Cervantes, and Goethe. Track your progress paragraph by paragraph and pick up exactly where you left off.

Lectio is for readers who want to truly read another language, not just drill it. Read slowly. Read deeply.
