You’ve practised Latin words to the point where you can recite the whole list with your eyes closed: rosa=rose, bellum=war, terra=ground. You feel like the fastest gun in the West: As soon as you see a word, your neurons fire like a bullet and the translation effortlessly flows out of your mouth. Now you just have to take the test—time to learn whether your pen can keep up with your superior brain.

1. “rosae”

Never heard of it.

2. “es”

Trick question.

3. “terris”

Terris no such word! These aren’t the words you were supposed to practise! If only there was an app which would have prepared you for this and is completely free and works perfectly and is easy to understand and use and looks great too...

With Latinista you can learn to recognize all forms of Latin nouns, adjectives and verbs. You repeatedly get shown a form of a word from a certain inflection group. For inflected nouns and adjectives, you have to provide the correct cases. For inflected verbs, you have to provide the correct translation.

Over 850 Latin words with varying inflection groups have been added by an experienced Latin teacher. These include 9.000+ forms for nouns / adjectives and 32.000+ forms of verbs. Using a guide on the website https://weelweb.com/latinista you can add additional words yourself. These lists can be shared with ease, so that teachers can make wordlists and share them with their students. You can select yourself which lists and cases / forms you want to practise. This way, you can choose to learn only the words that may appear in your test.
