Questions
Why is there no microphone scoring for Latin?
Web browsers do not support Latin in their voice recognition, so automatic grading is not possible. Instead, every lesson uses listen-and-repeat practice: play the audio, hear the verse in the classic church pronunciation, and say it aloud yourself. It is the way Latin has been learned for a thousand years.
Does this course include audio?
Yes: every lesson has listen-along audio built into the lesson page: the memory verse, vocabulary, and daily words read aloud in ecclesiastical pronunciation. Perfect for shadowing practice.
Is this for beginners?
Absolutely. Grammar builds from zero: first-declension nouns first. And the complete answer keys cover every quiz, so grading is painless.
Are there other languages?
Yes. The Learn Through the Bible series also includes Spanish (Reina-Valera 1960), French (Louis Segond 1910), and German (Luther 1912), each built the same way.
