Legonium

What it actually is

A serialised Latin novella set in a fictional town, illustrated with Lego scenes, with audio and vocabulary support for each episode. The pictures do what a translation would otherwise have to, which keeps you reading Latin instead of decoding it. Pairs naturally with Ørberg — same principle, different subject matter, and it is free.
