A quiet place for linguistic, intellectual, and spiritual formation.

For readers who want to engage serious texts with care and maintain the use of several languages with ease. Legentur is designed for people who read across languages and want a way to stay close to the text without constantly switching tools or losing depth. It favors sustained reading and understanding over speed, entertainment, or casual practice.

It is a reading tool that uses language study in service of understanding. Language is not treated as an isolated skill but as something learned through sustained engagement with real texts.

Yes. Legentur can be used for careful reading in modern languages as well. Latin and Greek are important for Scriptural study, but the method is not restricted to ancient languages. You can benefit from the platform even if you never intend to master them.

Legentur can be used by beginners, but it is not a guided course and does not replace formal instruction. There is no prescribed path or progression built into the platform. Beginners use Legentur in the same way as more advanced readers: by reading texts appropriate to their level, whether from the materials provided or from texts they choose to upload themselves. Progress comes from sustained reading and study, not from following a predefined curriculum.

A modest daily rhythm is best: consistency over intensity. The goal is stable formation over months and years, not occasional intensity.

Legentur is not a company. It is built and maintained by volunteers who care about reading, study, and the intellectual life. The project exists because people give their time and expertise to it.

We follow the principle expressed in the Gospel: “Gratis accepistis, gratis date” (Matthew 10:8), which means “Freely you have received; freely give.” Our aim is to keep the core of the site accessible and freely available. That said, Legentur has real costs. Hosting, servers, and certain features, such as text-to-speech, custom translations, and text processing, require ongoing expense. While the site is in beta, we are not able to provide full access to every feature for everyone.
