Six ways to practice.
Declinatio tracks your answers across all six modes to help you focus on the forms and words you need to practice.
-
Forms
You are given a noun and asked for one of its forms. Type your answer and you find out straight away whether it was right, along with the stem, the ending, and the rule that joins them.
-
Sentence completion
Supply the missing form in a short Latin sentence, with an English translation to help, for the declensions and words you choose. Practice how cases work in context.
-
Smart Review
Review what is due each day, forms and sentence roles in one round, scheduled according to your previous answers.
-
Verba
Learn the words the texts use most, a hundred at a time. The first deck alone covers about half of what you read in Caesar and Nepos; two more decks prepare the Aeneid.
-
Sententiae
Eight sentences a day, chosen for your level: lines from Caesar, Cicero, Vergil, Catullus and the Vulgate, alongside ones adapted or written for practice. Supply the missing form in each.

Gallia est omnis dīvīsa in partēs trēs, quārum ūnam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquītānī, tertiam quī ipsōrum linguā Celtae, nostrā Gallī appellantur.
Gaul as a whole is divided into three parts, of which the Belgae inhabit one, the Aquitani another, and the third those who in their own language are called Celts, in ours Gauls. Caesar, Dē Bellō Gallicō I.1
