How Can I Improve My Latin Vocabulary?

The best way to improve your Latin vocabulary is through regular practise. Learning a little bit each day can really add up over the long run. When you encounter a word you don't know, try thinking about words in English that might have derived from it.For instance vehementer sounds a lot like the English word vehemently, which might help you to figure out that it means violently or loudly.

How Is The Latin Vocabulary List Formatted?

The words in Latin are structured in the way you would find them in a textbook or dictionary.For instance regular verbs (e.g. amo) are given in four parts:

amo, amare, amavi, amatus

  • 1. First person present tense

  • 2. Present active infinitive

  • 3. First person perfect tense

  • 4. Perfect passive participle

Nouns are shown as below:

servus, servi   m

  • 1. Nominative singular
