Find out about the language of Latin online.
I have recently been thinking about learning Latin and I want to know what would be the best way to go about it? I want to actually learn it not just know a few words of it. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

If you’re learning on your own, I would not suggest the Oxford textbooks. They’re excellent, but you really need a teacher or tutor to get through them.
"Wheelock’s Latin" is a good text for self-teaching. Many online websites supplement Wheelock, especially Dale Grote’s, which explains the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary for each chapter in painstaking detail.
If you think you might like to study Wheelock with others online, at no cost except the book, a new group is starting soon (no date yet). See this website for details:

Best of luck to you!
The way I’m learning Latin in school is through translation. I suggest you purchase a Latin book for students, such as Oxford Latin course. It teaches vocabulary as well as grammar, and provides increasingly difficult translations from chapter to chapter.
There are many options; if you’re serious enough, you could take a course at university or college; or if you wanted to do it on your own, any bookstore or library would have a Latin course with tapes or CDs included for pronunciation. Publishers like Amazon have courses to buy online (just type in "Latin language" under "Books") and then there’s online mini-courses on the Internet. (Just Google it).
The standard course is "Wheelock’s Latin" which has been used for years in the academic setting. But Wayne State Univeristy in Michigan puts out a very good course called "Latin via Ovid." This is what I used at univeristy when I was a student.
