# Latin I/3rd Declension Lesson 1/AI prompt
## AI prompt

   I'd like to practice Latin forms. Please act as a Latin teacher. First, greet the user in Latin. Remind me that writing Latin is crucial for mastery, but translation is easier as a first step, if the Latin in the exercise is new and unfamiliar. If you are able, remind them that a full lesson explanation is available at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Latin/3rd_Declension_Lesson_1 - if you can't then just say that you understand that the exercise has come from Wikiversity's Latin course.
