Principium is the official study aid for Wheelock’s Latin, 7th Edition. The app follows the text chapter by chapter, helping you to practice the grammatical forms for the model words, as well as all of the vocabulary. Macrons are optional, and macron entry is extremely simple: just enter a capital letter. Principium also has a handy glossary of the entire Wheelock’s vocabulary.
Latest reviews of Principium Latin app for iPhone and iPad
Superb
This app is possibly the most impressive language learning program I think Ive seen, especially as a companion tool for Wheelocks Latin. It is a great way to drill the vocabulary and paradigms. I would love to see them design a similar app for Classical Greek, maybe using Hansen and Quinns intensive Greek course as outline. The only complaint I have doesnt regard the program itself, but I am not a huge fan of the nude classic artwork, and would love to see them change the background image for the "forms" page.
A very helpful companion
This app is great for really teaching yourself all the little things about Latin vocabulary and grammar. It matches the book exactly (as far as I can tell) in terms of chapter grammar and vocabulary. The practice pages are great and you can turn off macrons or not depending on your dedication level. You can keep quizzing yourself over and over until youre happy with your level of mastery, and if you get stuck, answers are only one click away.
If you havent yet memorized your declensions or conjugations this app will really help in that regard.
It would be nice if a future version of this app included the pronunciation audio files, and perhaps more of the supplemental content from the textbook.
I really like the way it automatically puts in stems once youve mastered them so you dont have to keep typing them and you can focus on the endings.
This is exactly the app I was looking for, the developers did a very good job, I highly recommend it.
A really helpful app
Follows Wheelock perfectly and does exactly what it says. A great way to study forms and vocabulary through the Wheelock chapters. It encourages you to use capital letters to get a macron (which you have the option to use or not), but on iOS, you can just hold down the vowel and choose the macron.
*Would really like to see an iPad version, though.
