Learning the Latin language

[PaulTownsend]

What method do YOU use to learn our chosen language?

A good topic for you to read on the subject: https://creativityalliance.com/forum/index.php/topic,7354.0.html

As for you, do what fits you best when learning a new language. I've taken courses and used Rosetta Stone once or twice to learn languages (though both can be expensive). Since Latin is a little more obscure to learn that a language like Spanish (thanks to the hand of the Jew), you may have to do a little searching.

Thank you for the link.  I ordered "Latin for dummies" this morning from amazon.  I understand that it is very basic, and that will (hopefully) give me enough to be able to understand other programs.  I hope to get to the point that I can post in Latin.

www.wordhippo.com is helpful.  Being able to hear the word's pronunciation is nice.

I'll stick to my blend of Spanish and Italian with a bit of Esperanto.

I'm not going anywhere so I have no need to properly know any other language than English.

The good thing is, all of those languages help me with Latin. Add a good Search Engine and an online translator, and I'm good. I can always ask a Frog or a Wog or a Dago brother or sister if I'm unsure.


As for my method of learning: I did some classes but I couldn't be bothered with the homework.

I prefer the CD's. Let me know if there's anything you need. I have Pimsleur French, Italian and Spanish. Probably also German. You know ... the $1,000+ language lesson CD sets.
