High school and college students will welcome the arrival of this collection of over 1000 Latin
sententiae gathered from a wide range of classical, medieval, and Renaissance sources. These aphorisms, proverbs, and mottos are designed to build vocabulary, strengthen grammar skills, and allow users to have fun with Latin.
Utilizing the highly acclaimed and proven Transparent Language software, the program provides users with a detailed, easily accessible explication of each sentence. Users can click on a word to learn its person, gender, number, meaning, role in the sentence, and English derivatives. These convenient aids allow students to focus on reading Latin, rather than on the drudgery of poring over dictionaries and grammar references.
The experience is further enhanced by a recorded pronunciation of each sentence and of each individual word. Users can also record their own pronunciation and see a graphical comparison with the expert speaker's.
In addition, word puzzles and vocabulary games allow users to practice newly acquired language skills. Users can chose from three skill levels and record their scores to track their progress over time.
