<br />Hi Bobby,<br /><br />Welcome to Textkit! I'm happy to hear you've found the Latin books on this site. I don't know of any online interactive Latin sites, but I'm sure some of the more seasoned members here might know. Don't forget to check out the Outside Links of Interest forum.<br />

Salutations ;) <br /><br />I don't know what you intend to do by means of a program but if you wish that you might learn Latin then Latin For Beginners is all. I say that is all.

He always says that Latin for Beginners is all. ;) Actually, the Collar and Daniell book is good, too. <br /><br />I don't know quite what you mean by "programs," but there are several Latin grammars, readers and books here on textkit, and the Agora is a really neat place to pratice Latin or Greek with other Textkit members. (I've never posted in it because the most I can say is "Domina filiam amat", and you can't make much of a conversation out of that!) :)<br /><br />Keesa

This site has crosswords and other games:<br />http://mysite.freeserve.com/Classical_Studies<br /><br />This one has lots of Latin games, and they correspond with different books/readers/authors which you can choose from (of all difficulties, but mostly beginner):<br />http://www.quia.com/dir/latin/

Does it run OK under Windows 2000? I'm always wary of installing stuff on my computer; I think my version of Windows 2000 is extra sensitive about changes of any sort. :-\

If not, who's game to make some games, etc.?<br /><br />Magistra <br />

I'm afraid it doesn't have any programs corresponding to D'ooge... only newer books (winces at the impending outcries of Episcopus).

Give it a try. :)
