Learn Latin by actually speaking it

Most people learn Latin to read: Caesar, Virgil, the Vulgate. Then they spend years translating word by word with a grammar table open next to the page. There's a faster way in, and it's the old one: use the language. When you say a Latin sentence out loud, the endings stop being a chart you consult and start being habits you have.

Parlita gives you a patient Latin partner that speaks simple Latin with you, corrects you in context, and feeds whatever you fumble into spaced repetition. The pronunciation is completely regular, and English hands you half the vocabulary before you start.

The endings are the whole language. Latin puts a word's job in its ending rather than its position, so the words can come in almost any order and the sentence still means one thing, which is how a poet can park an adjective six words away from its noun. Reading that at speed means knowing the endings cold, and nobody has found a way around the tables. Saying them out loud is the shortest route through them.

The pronunciation is completely regular and you will never be unsure how a written word sounds, though you do have to pick between the classical and the church version, where c is either always hard or sometimes soft. Vocabulary is close to free, since you already know roughly what a dominus and an aqua are. What surprises people is the compression. Latin drops its pronouns and has no articles at all, so four words carry what English needs nine for.
