| Description: | Lingua Latina tests the user on the basics of Latin
grammar. The user may select from declensions, conjugations or pronouns. For each the user is reuired to complete each part of the noun or verb. There is the ability to reveal the correct answer before proceeding to the next. In addition, a 'quiz' option presents the user with a verb and requests conjugation, tense, number and person. The language in which the test is presented can be selected as English, German or Latin itself (the latter amusingly displays the imperative, "Refer me in tabulas!" on unregistered copies). There is also an on-line Windows help for Lingua Latina (which does not change language). |
