Latin and Greek from age 12
Latin and Greek, languages that carry.
A column carries a building. Latin and Greek carry a large part of our words, from aquarium to democracy. Zuil shows you how these languages work: every topic starts from a real question, shows it in a picture and lets you practise straight away.
No ads, no tracking, no account needed. The learning path and the first three topics are free.
Word of the day
portāre
means ‘to carry’
You know it from transport.
Try it: tap a function in the sentence and see which case and ending belong to it
How a topic works
First the question, then the picture, then you.
Every topic has the same four blocks, always in this order. That way you know where you are.
Why
A real question: what does that inscription in Tongeren say, why is an aquarium called that, how do you read the letters on a Greek coin.
See it
A picture to play with: a table of cases that lights up, a sentence where you tap the verb, a Greek keyboard, a tree of roots.
Get it
The explanation in plain words, then the rule, Latin and Greek examples with their long marks and a worked example step by step.
Do it
Decline, conjugate, recognise the case, translate short sentences, write Greek in our letters, match roots. When you make a mistake, you see which rule you broke.
Then you read the pitfalls, where you meet it in real life, a piece of history and what to know first or learn next.
Four domains
From rosa to the democracy of Athens.
Latin language
8 topics
The cases, the first three declensions, the present, imperfect and perfect, adjectives, prepositions and your first sentences to translate.
- Cases: what does a word do in the sentence?
- First and second declension: rosa and dominus
- Third declension: the hidden stem
- Present tense: who does what, now?
- Imperfect and perfect: telling about the past
- Adjectives: agreement in case, number and gender
- Prepositions: in the house or into the house?
- Translating sentences: reading by the endings

Who it is for
For those who learn, help and teach.
For pupils
Start from a question you recognise. Play with the picture, discover the system behind the endings and practise until it comes naturally. Mistakes are information, not punishment.
Start practisingFor parents
You don't need to know Latin or Greek yourself. Every topic explains it as at school and gives a question or a game to do together at the table.
