Classical Vocabulary

Classical Vocabulary is a small piece of software that provides you with some basic tools to help you fathom Greek or Latin.

While the setup is simple and straightforward, it is important to note that you are required to install the SPIonic Greek fonts in order to access the application. The installer can be found in the same directory as the executable file, whereas the operation entails a simple double-click and following the steps indicated by the setup.

Upon launch, you come face to face with a clean and user-friendly interface that displays all its available features and functions. In the upper section, you can select the document you want to translate or use for learning as well as the font style, color and highlighting, if necessary. In the lower area, you can preview the Latin or Greek word you are searching for and its translation or description.

In spite of the fact that the utility includes only a handful of words initially, you should know that you can add more as you are progressing with your foreign language lessons. You can add a new item by accessing the button with the same name and filling in the word and its translation. On a side note, it is important that the words and meanings are written at the same time because they need to be synchronized.

A further noteworthy function of the application is Test Yourself, a feature that automatically removes the translation or explanation of the words you are trying to learn. In case you do not recognize the text, then you can rest assured that you can access the translation by hitting the Escape key.

If you have decided that you want to learn Greek or Latin so you can make the most of your traveling across Europe, study for an exam or enhance collaboration with international teams, then perhaps Classical Vocabulary could come in handy.
