How does someone go about learning latin? I've seen some websites but they're just some beginners things.
I read somewhere it improves your grammar too, because to learn to speak it you'll need to learn how to construct sentences.
Is it impossible for me to learn it if I'm not amazing with english in terms of sentence structures, recognising the object of the sentence or whatever?
Also, does anyone know any websites or books etc which would cover just about all of it. And anyone here learnt latin?
Any information would be appreciated.

Hi all !
My question is how different are the classical version of the latin language and the medieval one ? I know that medieval latin varies from country to country so I will specify that I'm talking about medieval latin in England ( Britain ).
I'm asking becouse I'm currently studying the english medieaval latin and I have never studied classical latin before. I know that medieval latin was derived from vulgar latin but I don't know much about it else from it was spread to the foreign provinces by the soldiers. I don't know how related is it to the true latin. Therefore with the knowledge of medieval latin will I be able to understand the language of the late Roman republic and empire or not ?
I'm looking for both dictionary and grammar and further explanations would help.

It's known that Italian has the closest vocabulary to Latin, and Romanian has the closest grammar. If you were to put them together, just how close would you be to recreating Latin (obviously, Latin's still around - I'm just asking this out of fun).

Well I speak 4 languages, so mastering grammar is pretty easy.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring
Thanx for your answers but the translator websites only do literal translations which dont take into account sentence structure and grammar which means they don't actually make sense

My birthday is soon, and what I want is a book to learn Latin. I want one that is easy to work with and understand and is good at including vocab and grammar. I just need to know some actual titles to ask for. Any suggestions? Thanks so much for your help.

Hello community, I've recently come upon the beauty of the Latin language and its monumental impact throughout history. I've been trying to read some Latin-to-English side-by-side translations to get a grip on vocabulary, but I'd like to take some courses or procure some instructional books, mainly to learn with a group of people and be instructed on grammar. The only problem is, there are very few places around the metroplex (at least that I've found in my searches) that offer Latin classes.
Can someone please give me some guidance?
Thank you.
