Tortoise & Hare in Latin
Aesop's Fable in Latin
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Lente sed certe! Learn Latin with Aesop's famous fable of the tortoise and the hare. Features side-by-side bilingual text and audio.
Lente sed certe! Slow and steady wins the race. Aesop's most enduring fable becomes a perfect first Latin reading experience. The boastful lepus challenges the humble testudo to a race, then dozes off under a tree — convinced his speed makes effort unnecessary. The tortoise plods on without stopping.
Testudo et Lepus is ideal for beginners (A1-A2): the vocabulary is manageable, the story is short, and its clear structure helps you internalize Latin word order, noun cases, and basic verb conjugations naturally.
This bilingual app displays Latin and English side by side, with classical audio pronunciation for every sentence. A timeless lesson about perseverance — told in Lingua Latina.
