Latin isn't really used in conversation anymore (although I suppose it might be in use for certain correspondence within the Catholic Church) but it is still useful to learn.\n\nLatin forms the basis of so many different languages, that studying Latin is like studying language itself.  Knowledge of Latin makes understanding any of the modern Romance languages (such as Spanish, French, Italian, and English too!) much easier.  And that helps your writing and speaking, which are all-important skills in today's world.

It's quite a complex language, with a lot of grammar rules but it's not impossible to learn. The hardest bit for me was that it's a dead language so not many opportunities to practice it... But it's a very useful language to have since many words, especially in latin derived languages but also many scientific terms are derived from latin. It sure helped me a lot when I had to study anatomy and physiology!

The best way is to talk with someone who speaks that language.\n\nOther things you can do:\n\nWatch a language DVD/video.  The ones we like are the Muzzy series and also the Standard Deviants series.  For French, there is a great series of videos called "French in Action."\n\nYou can also try listening to the Berlitz audio tapes.  We have used those in both German and Italian.  You can listen while driving/riding in the car or while relaxing or whatever.  they really are great for learning pronunciation.\n\nYou can also enroll in a language class but that would be the most expensive.\n\nIf you are on a low budget, try getting audio and video tapes at your local library.\n\nOr ask friends or family who have taken a language class. Most likely they have materials collecting dust that they will give you.

I do. I took 2 years of classical Latin in High School, and I'm continuing with it next semester in college. I think I've got the pronounciation down--I took classical Latin, and the pronounciation we learned is thought to be the closest to the original. I've got a dictionary and phrase book, so simple conversation shouldn't be too hard. \nI know a little swordplay(self-taught), I can handle a horse pretty well, and I can make fire. I'm in pretty good health, no allergies or anything.\nWhen are you planning on leaving?

read as much you can, listen to the radio or watch TV and try to understand first without a dictionary and then check if you were right.\nAnd speak a lot! Don't be shy.

You're probably in school so this may not work, but seriously if you really want to learn a language inside out, get a one-way ticket to the land where the language is spoken, and make it very hard to get back to where you originated from.  You will learn the language from the ground up, like children do.  "I'm hungry!" "How much does this cost?""Where's the bathroom?""How do you say...?" It's humbling to always be asking and learning.  Sometimes you have to say a word or a phrase over and over before you get it.  Try not to associate with English speakers, because it is easy to get lazy and just fall back on your native language.  Living in a country you learn the accent and the slang--more authentic.\nComo sta lei? Multo bene?  I learned that through language tapes--and that is about all I learned.  I learned Spanish by living in South America for two years.  I am fluent in Spanish.  So much depends on your motives for learning a language.  If it's just to get a "C" and get a language requirement out of the way, it's going to be different than if you are planning to go to Italy this summer and you really want to see the sights and taste the real authentic food  and meet people your age.  Usually if they see you are attempting to speak their language and not expecting THEM to automatically speak English to you, you will find most people are remarkably helpful.  I did learn some French in high school using conventional methods--so that does work--but it's that principle of the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it. Flash cards, writing vocabulary out over and over, listening to tapes, watching films--you can even listen to radio from Italy on Internet.  Go to an Italian restaurant and try your Italian on the waiters and waitresses. If you can find a student from Italy trying to learn English, you can help each other, and by listening to the way they put sentences together in English, it will give you insights into Italian grammar--because it is not the same, as you know, as English.  Your choice: get a C or travel the sea.  <smile> .  &8^ } 3\nCiao,\n-Spec

Look online for a program that has you read it, hear it spoken (like a CD rom or regular CD for your car) and also, if possible, one that can hear you say the words and correct your pronunciation. I've found the best way to learn a language is to have one that you can just listen to in the car that says it in English and then in the foreign language and you can repeat along. Makes car trips go so much faster and you can repeat the "lessons" as many times as you need to. You could always enroll in a community college course, but I haven't heard of Greek being offered really, so I'd look for a CD program.

Nothing is impossible to learn if you are committed to it.  Search out people who speak the language, explain to them what you are learning and why...most of them will gladly help you.
