You don’t have to throw menhirs to master Latin.
You know the vocabulary. But you still can’t identify the ACI in a sentence.
It clicks in class—but when you practice on your own at home, suddenly it’s all gone.
Test in two weeks. You don’t even know what you don’t know.
The problem isn’t Latin. The problem is a lack of feedback.
Flashcards are silent. Tables don’t explain anything. Videos show you—but you have to apply it yourself. And figure out on your own whether you can really do it.
Lapicida Latinus does things differently: You analyze real sentences under a little pressure—and get immediate feedback. What you don’t know comes back to you. What you do know gets reinforced. You gain a firm footing.
Why the brain needs this: Your brain doesn’t learn by watching—it learns through active recall. When you’re forced to identify an ACI in a real sentence and see right away whether you were right, that sticks. And if a slip-up happens: it doesn’t reset you to zero. The system forgives the first mistake and only downgrades your score on the second actual error. This is not a marketing promise: cognitive science calls it the testing effect — actively recalling knowledge anchors it about twice as strongly in long-term memory as merely rereading (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006).
We’re going back to the day before yesterday. And we’re cooking.
Latin used to be learnt on the text. With people in it, with stories, with context. Then came the tables — and with them the idea that you have to know everything by heart before you are allowed to read.
That was never a good idea. Today it is a bad one. If you are dyslexic, if you have ADHD, if you simply run at a faster clock than a table of endings, you drop off the back — and decide that you are too stupid for Latin.
So we are not going forward. We are going further back: to the text. With everything that is possible today.
Unda — the wave that runs through the text. Word by word, sentence by sentence, until the whole text is yours. Stopping and carrying on tomorrow is expressly allowed.
Turbo — the repetition whirl. Whatever wobbles comes back. And back again.
Play in pairs — Satz-Stafette, Turbo-Race, Sensus Tribunal. Latin is not a solo sport.
Pen and voice — writing instead of typing, listening instead of guessing.
Officina — the dashboard that shows teachers where it really sticks.
This is how we work our way through the text — six steps on a single sentence. Click to enlarge.

Grammar (nouns, verbs, adjectives, participles), sentence quizzes, vocabulary, or reading—you choose what you need right now.
Step 2 — Analyze a real sentence
A real Latin sentence appears. You identify sentence components, type in verb forms, and identify constructions—right within the sentence, not on paper.

Right or wrong—with an explanation. The sentence is highlighted in color. You’ll see right away what you missed. You’ll do better on the next sentence.
Step 4 — You know what comes next
My Area shows what is still wobbling and what is solid—and mixes exactly that into your next sentence quiz. You never have to remember where you left off.

Why Lapicida Exists
Latin often feels like lugging around heavy menhirs. I know the feeling: When I had to make up for my Latin exam in record time, it turned into a nightmare because of my dyslexia.
Since no Latin app taught me how to actually identify sentence components in texts, I built one myself as a developer.
Lapicida means “stonemason.” A stonemason doesn’t rely on brute force, but shapes the stone with quick, precise strikes. That’s exactly what the app does: Drawing on my experience as a strength and conditioning coach, it uses focused burst learning (5- to 10-minute sessions) to chisel the knowledge into your brain. Without artificial pressure or grueling streaks.
I passed my exam using it. Now this tool can help you.
