This site contains a series of drill programmes which are intended to assist students of Latin (particulary those using Wheelock's text) with their vocabulary. There are a number of programmes to choose from including: Flash Cards, Click On Words, Fill-In-The-Blanks (used for meanings, cases and principle parts), a growing Database of Wheelock's vocabulary (used for listing vocabulary by type or by chapter which also will decline nouns on-the-fly), a searchable Latin/English English/Latin lexicon. All programmes are run on-line in any web browser (including Lynx!) without the need for special plugins or fancy hardware. This site is also optimized for speed so that users on a modem connection do not have to put up with annoying delays. See less

The PDF files shown below can be printed from any computer, provided you have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. You do not need the Flavius font family to run these files; the fonts are embedded. The files can be printed to any letter-size paper, but some are designed to be printed onto business card stock, which can be obtained in bulk from office supply stores or in individual sheets from copy stores such as Kinko’s. There are ten “lessons” per page, and when you print to business card stock, each “lesson” will print on its own card. (The business card format used was Avery 5371; other brands may not fit this format.) See less

In general, if you conscientiously work on the memorization and exercises required at home and in class, you'll find that Latin is not difficult. But what is difficult is to be conscientious: which means working every day on your Latin, and thinking hard when you do work. Nota bene: it's not how much time you spend, but how regularly you study, and how hard you think. Important notes on study technique: (1) Make flash cards for vocabulary and forms. Work on these not in one grueling stretch, but ten minutes here and there throughout the day: while you're waiting for a class to start, while you're riding on a bus, over coffee in the morning. To look at these repeatedly, not for long periods of time, is what will be effective in the long run. (2) As you work through a chapter, make notes in the margin of your book or homework of questions or confusions. You can't ask questions if you are organized well enough to be able to recall what they were. And don't be shy about asking questions:... See less
