Basically what the question asks. Have you ever used the computer based language software Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish or another Latin based language like French, Italian, or Portuguese? How long did you use it, did you complete all or most of the lessons/levels, and did it work for you?

How do I learn Latin by my 13-year-old self?

I know the phrase is kinda weird, but it's for an important cause, and i'd appretiate it much if someone can tell me how that is written in Latin.

Thanx!

It's not. It's derived from Germanic languages.
The romance languages (Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Friulian, etc.) are derived from Latin, but not English.
English has words derived from Latin, but only because English speakers have a great habit of borrowing words from other languages.
Germanic languages are not derived from Latin, they are derived from the same languages as Latin, but they formed into two separate branches. I know Modern English (and really most modern languages) are a hodgepodge of influences. But I've noticed that people think English derived directly from the language of the Romans.

You can write some Asian languages several ways, including in Latin characters. (Like Rōmaji for Japanese words.)
Can you do this with Russian?
I don't mean translate it into an English word.

Is there a website I can go to to do this? I want to type in an English word and get a result in Russian, in Latin characters.

I should clarify that I love *all* languages, French being my favorite foreign language thus far. -- But I am increasingly fascinated by Latin, and I am looking for some resources with which I might study it. Tutors and classes, while the most compelling options, are not practical in this case.

So how do you suggest I learn this dead language on my own?
Always wear under wear. Har dee har.
