Latest reviews of Learn Latin - EuroTalk app for iPhone and iPad
Way too expensive for what is offered. It simply teaches vocabulary. Not much else. Even then I would say not many words are taught, especially in light of the price. I feel like I was robbed. This is a fun app, worth nothing more than two or three dollars.
This app is great, it literally is the best latin app that itunes has. Sure theres other apps that gives you translations but this one speaks latin and not english back to you so you understand how to pronounce words and sentences. I learned latin very easily and others can too, try it because its worth the money. Please update more stuff! :)
This certainly is a fun and effective learning tool. I found myself very quickly picking up words I had not seen before. The program consists of 9 lists of words, terms and phrases: First words Food Colors Phrases Body Numbers Time Shopping Countries Each list is introduced with a section that gives you the item and says it for you. The sound is clear and loud with both male and female speakers. You are given an opportunity to replay the sound as often as you like. And you can record yourself speaking the item to hear your own pronunciation. There are also three games of increasing difficulty which reinforce your learning. Those games are engaging. I was drawn to repeat them past the point where I had learned the items. There are three odd things about this app: 1. It includes a very great many words, terms and phrases from modern times such as airplane, asprin, coffee, taxi, train, credit card and telephone. There is no explanation where they come from. Clearly they were not used in ancient times. So apparently they are from modern users of Latin, perhaps the Roman Catholic Church or the Living Latin movement. I dont find that objectionable. I actually wish I could converse in Latin. This app would be a good step in that direction. But if you are looking for help with your ancient authors, this app is going to be of limited use. 2. The speakers have heavy Italian accents. That makes it a questionable model if you want a classical accent. 3. And, MOST DISTURBING the speakers add an extra vowel sound at the end of many, perhaps most, of the items ending in S or T. So domus becomes domusa. Unus is unusa. Non is nona. Tres becomes tresa. This is simply incomprehensible. I can only imagine that the editor was Italian as well or had taken a very long vacation while this was being recorded. I have never heard anything like it. I admit I am only a student. Maybe this is the modern Italian way to pronounce Latin. Whatever it is, it is not the way I have heard it in any of my admittedly limited Latin studies. It really should have a new sound track.
Great app :D however it does not teach the basics of the language; it just teaches phrases and words, which are common and useful. My point is its the best Latin app only because there isnt anything better.
Im happy someone has done this, but many of the vocab words are strange. Longivox for phone? Quot stat instead of quanti constat? Just not sure about those....
