Quod est DS homebrew: DSLatin, a language trainer app

DS homebrew - Image 1For a time, I busied myself with Ubisoft's language coach games on the DS - namely My French Coach and Spanish Coach - mainly to brush up on my multi-lingual skills. But if you want something to help you with Latin (and by gods, have I always wanted to learn Latin!), you'd have to go the homebrew route.

Here's DSLatin from one Todd Jeffrey. This Latin learning app for the DS will test your Latin skills by throwing words at you, and you'll have to identify and define the word.

Todd Jeffrey writes:

IÂ’ve been working on a Nintendo DS Latin vocabulary training tool. Normal Latin trainers are very restrictive in that you can only focus on the nominative case or first-person-singular verb forms. My tool will throw ANY form at you, and you have to identify it and also define the word. You define the word by drawing it out on the touchscreen. There are no multiple choice options so you canÂ’t guess!


This is only a demo he's making available. He's currently working on the GUI, so this demo is quite restricted: it's only got nouns for now.

And why would you want to learn Latin? Ask the One-Winged Angel or the Children of Fate.
