Duae Linguae
The interactive companion to Familia Romana
The finest Latin course ever written deserves better than being abandoned at chapter IX. Clear notes, demanding exercises and reviews — aligned with your book, capitulum by capitulum, all the way to reading the classics in the original.
The path of a capitulum
Three movements that follow Familia Romana, and three companions that stay open. The app never reproduces Ørberg’s text: it surrounds it with everything the self-learner is missing.
Lectiōnēs
Short lessons: seven or eight new words each, met through picture tiles and then put to work. The chapter opens already familiar.
Probātiō
Original questions about the chapter’s story — self-contained: everything they ask comes from the lessons.
Lectūra nova
An original text written with only what you have learned: extensive reading you will find nowhere else.
Lectiō
Read the chapter in your own copy, whenever you like. The book is an excellent companion — never a requirement: the whole path plays without it.
Grammatica
A clear note, in English, spells out what the book shows without saying. Off the path: open it whenever you like — mid-lesson, or six months later.
Revīsiō
Reviews accompany everything else: every form you practise comes back on its own at the right time.
Ten promises
What we uphold — and what we refuse.
-
Idiomatic Latin, verified by deterministic code and proofread — never raw LLM output, never copied from the book.
-
Macrons everywhere, as in the book — forgiving in input, never absent in display.
-
Clear grammar explanations for every capitulum, in English and French.
-
No exercise ever requires a word or construction the book has not yet introduced.
-
Reviews that follow every form of a word — if you confuse the dative and ablative, they will help you practise them again.
-
A colour chart shows which forms of each word you have mastered.
-
For every capitulum, an original lectūra nova, made only of what you know.
-
The form and role of every word explained with one click in the readings.
-
No hearts, no leagues, no guilt-tripping notifications: an error is information.
-
Measurable progress: “you have mastered 92% of the vocabulary up to cap. XII” — and, in time, “you cover X% of Caesar”.
The book, if you want it
The course follows Hans H. Ørberg’s Familia Romana chapter by chapter — but nothing here requires owning it: the whole path plays without the book. If you have it, it is an excellent companion: read the chapter whenever you feel like it. The app never reproduces its text.
