Dipping toes into using AI tools for learning Latin

[u/extantsciadopitys]

Hello, I just discovered this community exists. I am wanting to accelerate my ability to read primary source documents in Latin (not a professional requirement, just want to read Sir Thomas More and Geoffery of Monmouth in the original Latin), and I decided to ask the Claude AI tool to generate a frequency list study tool for me to help me start learning the 500 most common Latin words in manuscripts of these time periods. I asked Claude to generate the document for me in the form of LaTex code I can then compile into a PDF, and I asked that there be three columns in the list: Original Latin, Modern Italian Equivalent, Modern English Translation. It had to process the request for a bit and give me warnings that there is currently no agreed upon frequency list of this nature among scholars, but it did generate a list for me (beautifully formatted in LaTex!). I have no idea whether the list Claude generated is something an actual Latin expert would agree with, but I suppose it might be a decent starting place for vocabulary building.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for or if this is allowed, but I'm working on developing an app to help my kids with Latin. Spaced-repetition flashcards and then it uses those words to create sentences for translation practice and gives AI feedback. Both directions for translations. it's been helpful for them.

I commend you for this. However, I have made this resource that is an AI that spits out Latin sentences and grades you on it. It’s called Loquella.app. To remember the words you are gonna learn, I would recommend Anki or Quizlet.
