Getting Started with LinguaMorpha
The shortest path from "just installed" to "running a drill that teaches me something". Each step links to the full explanation, so this page stays a route rather than a manual — the detail lives in Using the app.
1. Install
There is no account and no sign-in — you can start as soon as it is installed. A 21-day trial of every language starts when you finish the first-launch setup. See The app for platforms, requirements and what unlocking costs.
2. Pick a language
On iPhone and iPad, tap the flag at the top left of the main screen; on the Mac, click it at the top of the sidebar. In Scheme and level, choose a scheme of the language you want, and a level in it. Each language is complete on its own, so start with the one you actually want: Latin, Spanish or French. You can switch at any time; your answers stay recorded.
3. Turn on a better voice
The default voices sound robotic and the better ones are free. Download an Enhanced voice for your language — Italian if you study Latin. For Spanish or French, then pick it in LinguaMorpha: open Settings, switch to the tab for your course, and choose Voice. For Latin the app picks the Italian voice itself.
4. Run your first session
Each course's tips suggest a first session that is hard to get wrong — the declension paradigms for Latin, the A1 nouns for Spanish and French.
5. Look up a form you don't recognise
Tap the magnifying glass at the bottom right (on the Mac: Edit ▸ Look up…, ⇧⌘F) and type the form — dije, viendo, ceperat — and Look up names the word and the form.
6. Try the sentence parser (Latin)
In Look up, switch from Word to Sentence, paste a Latin sentence and tap Parse to see every word labelled — see Sentence parser.
Where to go next
Once the first sessions feel routine:
- Select word scope — choose the topics Self Study draws on.
- Practice Sets and Tests — ready-made sessions, and every test for your level on one page.
- My Progress — the heatmap, coverage, accuracy and your weakest words.
- Using the app — the full tour of every screen.
Help inside the app
Most screens have a Help button or a ? icon that opens a short help sheet about that screen, and the User Guide — under ⋯ → Help on iPhone and iPad, under Help in the Mac sidebar — is the same guide as this website, bundled into the app.
