Latin Courses
Picta Dicta Latin Primer is a first introduction to reading Latin suitable for either elementary or secondary students. It is a multimedia course, not only with readings and workbook exercises—but videos and app-based exercises as well. Students learn through all four language pathways (reading, writing, speaking, and hearing), which makes it both more enjoyable for them to learn and easier to retain.
Unlike in many Latin courses for younger students, students don't just memorize forms that are disconnected from their meanings--which quickly leads to burn out. Instead, they learn to use all the Latin they learn in meaningful ways. And after each lesson students are able to understand an animated Latin story as it is read to them like out of a Latin storybook.

Picta Dicta Latin Grammar is a hybrid digital-print introduction to Latin designed for the secondary level or beyond (more fast-paced and rigorous than Latin Primer). Students first learn vocabulary, morphology, and syntax through thousands of illustrated cartoons. Then, they practice simple Latin composition, grammatical analysis, and reading stories in a physical workbook. The readings in this course are all original compositions that are simultaneously humorous and foundational for students preparing to read harder and more serious Latin texts.
The Picta Dicta Latin Reader series is a collection of grammar-level-based Latin storybooks or readers suitable for students that are working through the Latin Primer Series or another Latin grammar curriculum. What student wouldn't want to read a storybook in Latin? Each reader comes with a complete vocabulary and Picta Dicta's app-based vocabulary and grammar exercises. A level-1 or -2 reader is like a Latin storybook, but with a powerful app to make the vocabulary and grammar of each chapter easy to understand. Level-3, -4, and -5 readers are for more advanced students, but the app-based exercises remove the need to constantly be looking up words.
