I really only just started this book but I can't believe Im actually learning latin. Of course I never read any other latin learning book but this really actually makes it seem do-able. I can totally conjugate latin verbs now and im only on chapter 2. Ive never really learned another language before but if I can pull this off I totally will! The latin ones at least :)

For a book that is trying to "demystify" Latin it sure did its best to put me off it. If you would like to start off easy and build up then try Getting Started with Latin (book) and Getting Started with Latin (website for the audio files)
