    I like these quizzes. The book is amazing — much, much easier than my Teach Yourself Latin book. I look forward to more quizzes. Thanks.

    Thank-you for posting these quizes and all of your on-line latin tutorial. I am studying spanish as well and knowing even a little latin is helping me! Jenna

    In the quiz #8, Lesson 29-30, the matching for one sentence is incorrect. On the left side it says, “I am watching the poet and the farmer.” But the right side has a plural. Correct match for the sentence is, “Poetam et agricolam specto.”

    @B Gunn
    Excellent catch! Thank you much for noticing and letting me know. I’ve made the correction.

    Thank you all for your kind words. It certainly makes it easier to continue doing this work if I know it is being used.

    In Quiz #2 Lesson 11-16, Question Sheet 12 of 12, sumus doesn’t appear until Lesson 17.

    In Quiz #3 Lesson 17-18, Question Sheet 4 of 4, answer “Your are not a sailor” is contracted incorrectly. I believe it should be “You are not a sailor.”

    Also, same page, I believe the Latin “Sumus et poetae et poetae estis” should be “Sumus et poetae et nautae estis” to match the answer block.

    With that said, thanks for this great resource! I go here immediately after my bookwork. It gives me some much needed practice. Hope to see more and more quizzes! Thanks.

    Please, please. Bring more quizzes soon. I am almost finished with them. Thank you for taking the time to put these together, they truly faciliate in the learning of the Latin language. I turned to William Linney’s book because the class I am taking in high school just isn’t getting it through and I am struggling. Already, in two days of immersing myself in this book I have learned almost as much as I have learned this entire school year. Probably more, actually. Its quite sad. But most importantly, I have come to learn and understand the fundamentals which I could not comprehend before.

    Thank you so much!
    I very much appreciate these quizzes and am so happy that they are free, especially now when extras are more difficult to budget in.
    However, if you set up a voluntary donation – I would gladly donate!!!

  12. March 9th, 2009 at 11:22 | #12

    Thanks Vanessa for your kind words. I will think about your suggestion.

    I really appreciate your website. My 8 year old homeschooled daughter has completed “Getting Started with Latin” and I’m using these quizzes to keep her Latin skills sharp before her portfolio review. From one homeschooling dad to another, keep up the good work! Vale!

    Just found these quizes!! LOVE them. Thank you so much for making them. We are excited to begin using them as part of our ‘Getting Started With Latin’ course work.

    These quizzes are really great! Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
    I did find a mistake in Quiz #22 Lesson 57-58, question 4. One of the Latin sentences is “Natas sed ambulo.”, which gets paired up with “You are swimming and I am walking.”. I’m pretty sure the answer should be “You are swimming BUT I am walking.
    Otherwise, the quizzes are awesome, and I’d love more!

  16. May 8th, 2009 at 07:47 | #16

    Thanks. I will correct this error soon. I am sorry I haven’t had much time to create more quizzes lately. Perhaps this weekend I will set aside a block of time for it.

  17. May 8th, 2009 at 07:48 | #17

    You are welcome. I am sorry I haven’t the time to create more quizzes lately.

    This is simply awesome! Thanks so much for doing this. I’m using the book to teach my children who are beginning readers, so it helps to have a format where they can demonstrate their knowledge without having to write quite so much. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

    @C. Clark
    Thank you kindly. I will resume this work in August.

    Thank you so much for creating them!!

    I think that on lesson 55-56 there is a mistake. On question two, it says :You guys are walking to the house” but house/casa isn’t casam.

    I am 57 years old and have always wanted to learn Latin. I found the Linney book on Amazon and love it. Your Quizes for each of his lessons are fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them. I hope to get my grandchildren interested at some point too.

    I noticed a mistake on Quiz #5, question 8. The phrase which says ‘I do watching,’ should be ‘I do watch’.

    July 27th, 2009 at 18:39 | #25

    @Vincent
    I think you are incorrect. In that sentence, “house” is the direct object, making house casam.

    Thank you so much for putting up these quizzes. I needed something to quiz myself with.

    @ray

    It is indeed a mistake which I’ve just corrected. Thanks for catching this.

    @Vincent

    Good catch. I’ve made the correction.

    I am a 41 year old woman that has always wanted to learn Latin, Greek and Hebrew – I haven’t even bought the book and took the 1st quiz made by “the dad” and got 80% – I can’t wait to get my hands on the book – thanks for writing it!

    Super! Hazar! Hoorah! We love the on-line quiz. Thank you for making it available for all of us to use
    I am having difficulty using the “Email Result” function. When I click on this option, after completing the quiz, it does not allow me to type in the email address to send the result of the quiz. The field is blank and the cursor is there but it does not allow me to type any character. It looks to me like the program is trying to use Outlook Express function to send the result. Alas, I am out of idea on how to solve this problem…??

  34. September 17th, 2009 at 10:47 | #34

    We are homeschoolers and love your book. We also love all the on-line resources. We are looking forward to more quizzes for the rest of the book. Thank you so much for this wonderful resource. You should promote this more to the homeschooling community!

    SUPER JOB !!! I am using the Getting Started With Latin in homeschooling an 11th grader, and these quizzes are an excellent addition to this program. Thank you so much for taking the time to create them. I had been writing out quizzes by hand (not nearly as well as these are done)and your quizzes have helped my scheduling immensely.
    THANKS AGAIN !! Looking forward to more quizzes !!

    So far, the only errors I’ve come across are these few:

    In Lesson 47-48, question 6: agricola none es.

    In Lesson 49-50, question 2 the answer is typed as “The girls often plow the soil” when I think it should be “The girl (singular) often plows the soil”. Also, in the same question aras is typed arras.

    Really small things to notice, but I hope it helps as the quizzes are an excellent way to learn the material.

    Steven,

    Excellent! I will correct this in a day or two. Thank you much.

    In Lesson 53-54 question 2:
    Agricolae terram arrant.

    They are plowing: arant.

    In Lesson 59-60 question 4:
    Femina circum insulam saepe natat.

    Sentence has the extra word saepe, so doesn’t match english sentence.

    In lesson 93-94 in question four one of the combination was: Ad insulam navigare non potestis. Then the words for that was Y’ll are not able to swim to the island. So navigare means to sail not to swim.

    In the same lesson the combination was: Poeta puellis fabulam harrat quod nauta sum. The corresponding words for that was: The poet is telling a story to the girls because the girls love stories. So just update nauta sum to the girls love stories in latin.

    Thanks!

    Hey, I really like these quizzes. But I was wondering if there are printable versions available.

  48. ray
    July 20th, 2010 at 14:46 | #48

    Noticed two errors in Quiz #21 (Lesson 55-56)
    1. Question #1-”…’I am saling’” should be I am sailing.
    2. Question #2 “Ad casa ambulatis” means “Y’all are walking to the house”. House is the direct object so it should be “Ad CASAM ambulatis”

    Thank-you so much for this! The tests are such a great review for the kids. I just discovered this and we are on lesson 84, however we are going back and using the tests as review. They are wonderful. Thanks for the time that you put into them.
