Anyone know of good books for learning Latin? I need to become proficient by the end of the year. I have some Loeb Cicero books on the way, but I need some textbook type resources to get past the beginning phase.
Also, general Latin language thread.
>Catiline Orations
>De re publica
>De finibus bonorum et malorum
>Livy
>Metamorphoses Ovid
>Meditations
>Caesar's de bello gallico
>gesta Romanorum

Yeah I didn't notice that at first since I'm phoneposting at the gym. I ordered the first lingua latina book you linked, as well as the essential latin vocab one. I'll paste the pdf links here later.

I'm already having with. I'd suck your dick for this, Non homo sum, amice.

Great, I hope you get to your goal. There is also a self-study guide somewhere (check his website later), it might help to keep you going.

Thanks a bunch, anon. I'm going for a Classics degree in the spring, so I'm hoping that I can have a good grasp on Latin beforehand. I'll just rely on the university to teach me ancient Greek.

Sounds great. Somewhere there are also recommended reading lists depending on your level, I'm sure you can find it once you're there.
For the other anons, here are some I already have:

Maybe he meant Descartes and not Aurelius.

I guess that makes sense but it was right in between two works of the Golden Era so I presumed it would fall in the Roman timeline.
Also I just don't get why you'd learn Latin to read Neo-Latin. If yr going into some philosophy phd program I understand, but for me it's not 'pleasurable' at all to read all that Church Latin and Neo-Latin.
