The app
LinguaMorpha is one app, not a family of downloads. It holds three independent modules in one place — Latin, Spanish and French — with a language switcher between them. Each module follows its own language: Latin has declensions, cases and a sentence parser, Spanish and French have their tense systems, gender and agreement. You download the app free, try everything for 21 days, then unlock the modules you want: each one on its own, or all of them as a bundle.

One app, three languages
Each language inside LinguaMorpha is a complete study system for one language — the verb system, nouns and gender (declensions and cases for Latin), adjectives, pronouns, prepositions, numerals, adverbs and phrases, with drills, Grammar lessons and progress reports. Pick a language and it works from start to finish on its own.
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. It opens Scheme and level, where you choose a language by choosing one of its level schemes, and your level in it; a lock marks a language you have not unlocked. The same screen holds the learners: several people can share one device, each with their own progress, scheme and level. Switching back and forth loses nothing: My Progress always reports on the language you are studying.
Five ways to study
- Grammar lessons — a path in level order: one new thing per lesson, explained before it is drilled. For when you want the app to decide what comes next.
- Theory — every theory page of the course in one list, by word type: the grammar, to read in order. For when you want to understand before you drill.
- Practice Sets — ready-made sessions on one theme or tense, or sets you build and share yourself. For a fixed piece of work.
- Self Study — every word type with its theory, word lists and drills; you decide what is in play. For working on exactly what you need.
- Tests — every test for your level on one page. With Only new at this level, just what your level adds. The book button beside each test opens the theory. For finding out what you already know.
All five share one vocabulary catalogue and one adaptive engine: an answer given in any of them counts in all of them. Practice Sets and Grammar lessons appear only for a course that has them.

Download and unlock
The app is free to try for 21 days with every feature and every language unlocked; the trial starts when you finish the first-launch setup, and a banner shows how many days are left. After the trial, you unlock the languages you want as in-app purchases — Spanish, French or Latin individually, or Unlock all languages, which unlocks every language in the app. No subscription, no advertising, no accounts. Restore Previous Purchase is in the store screen.
Why the bundle rather than one language. Not because you plan to study three at once. Because the languages are built to be read against each other, and the bundle lets you do that.
All three languages run on one engine and are marked with one scheme, so learning to read a conjugation table in Spanish teaches you to read one in French and Latin at a glance. That shared notation makes the comparison easy to see: red marks the part of a form that departs from the pattern in all three, so which verbs are irregular everywhere and which only in one language becomes something you see instead of something you have to work out. Spanish hacer, French faire and Latin facere are one verb; the Spanish hice and the French je fis both continue the Latin perfect fēcī, changed in different ways. With only one language unlocked, you cannot compare them.
Everything else is shared too: the same drills, the same screens, the same Practice Sets — so a second language brings no new interface to learn, only new words.
A single language is the right choice if you know which one you want and the family connection does not interest you. It is not a reduced version: one language unlocked is that language complete, every drill and every screen.
One purchase covers both platforms. The iPhone/iPad and Mac apps share a single App Store listing under Universal Purchase, so a language you unlock on one is unlocked on the other — same Apple ID, no second payment. There is also a small Apple Watch companion: a verb-conjugation reference for Spanish and French.
Everything runs on your device and works offline; your answers and progress never leave it unless you export them yourself.
App languages
"App language available" is the language the app's own text — menus, labels, help and translations — is shown in. It is separate from the language you are learning. For example, the French course can be used with the app in English, Dutch or Spanish.
The language you are studying is not offered as the app language, because a translation into the language you are learning would only repeat the word. That is why the Spanish course is offered with the app in English or Dutch, while French and Latin can also be used with the app in Spanish. The exception is the Spanish Lengua castellana scheme for native speakers: it shows no translations, so with it the app can be in Spanish too.
