FortiusLatin

FortiusLatin is a digital language-learning platform designed to teach Latin. It offers a structured curriculum from beginner to advanced levels, combining grammar explanations with extensive reading and listening practice. The platform emphasizes reading fluency alongside grammatical competence and aims to support self-paced study as well as classroom use.

FortiusLatin was created by a collaboration of classical philologists, linguists, and software developers. The project seeks to provide accessible Latin learning grounded in primary texts and modern pedagogy, with ongoing updates to content, user experience, and tooling to reflect current scholarship and technology.

Key features include interactive lessons, grammar guides, and vocabulary drills enhanced by spaced repetition. A large database of Latin texts is provided with annotated glosses and English translations, together with audio recordings by Latin instructors. The platform supports flashcards, adaptive exercises, and robust search and parsing tools. Assessments encompass quizzes, translation tasks, and writing prompts, and the system is available on web and mobile devices, with options for classroom integration and teacher resources.

Curriculum design emphasizes both textual interpretation and grammatical mastery. Courses cover canonical authors alongside varied passages and provide support for different Latin traditions, including ancient, medieval, and educational texts. The platform is suitable for individual learners, as well as schools and universities seeking structured alignment with Latin curricula.

Reception has highlighted FortiusLatin for its breadth of texts and integrated audio, while some critiques note a stronger emphasis on classical Latin relative to medieval and Neo-Latin varieties.
