Try it for free
The demo needs neither an account nor an email address. It covers the first three lessons of Disce ludens I – parts of speech, sentence elements and the first Latin words – and the vocabulary trainer with 20 words. Progress and history are kept if you unlock later.
If you want to see more, you can try everything free for 7 days with an account, once per account. The trial then ends by itself; no payment is taken.
The app is in German: exercises, hints and meanings are German, as in the original.
Account and devices
A licence applies to one account. You sign in with your email address and a code, without a password. With one account you can learn on up to 5 devices with the same progress, for example on a computer and a phone. One account is one learner: siblings each need their own account.
For children under 16, a parent registers the account with their own email address.
Schools
Schools get everything for €3 per student per year. The class gets a class code, the children need no email address, and names stay on the devices. Request a school licence.
How to unlock
You unlock with a licence code that you enter in the app under “Settings”. Until purchases are possible directly in the app, you get licence codes via our enquiry form. Apps for iPhone, iPad and Android will follow; a purchase will then apply on all devices of your account.
