The Method and the Company
The app is based on a method of language learning through consuming media, especially TV, videos and news, but also including books, songs, podcasts, etc., that is implemented in successful apps and a TV format of a company that I co-founded, mainly in Nordic countries.
Prix Europa Winner 2018
Our app for Swedish Television won the Prix Europa award for the Best Online Project for public television in Europe
New Direction
Now, separate from my involvement in that company, I want to apply this method to Latin and possibly other classical languages. I have a formal agreement with the company allowing me to use the existing code of the apps to create new apps, including commercially, for learners of Hebrew, Latin, and Ancient Greek.

Pre-Beta Testing
The Latin Media app is available for pre-Beta testing
Much of the development is done, but still much improvement is needed before it can be released.
Development Note: Certain aspects of the app announced above, especially in grammar quizes and adaptive pacing, are still in early development stages.
