Who knows Latin? What do you think about it? Do you think it's a waste of time? Give me your thought on it. I'm also thinking about learning Latin and was wondering what books would be good to check out.

...And to answer your question, "Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata."
It's convertible into most Romance vocabulary if you know the sound changes, so it's indirectly useful.

Is that what you used? Not OP but I actually started that same text about 5 days ago and have been enjoying it. I've been reading each chapter 3 times before moving on. The vocabulary retention is surprisingly good, and even the grammar is coming along.
With that said I think the informal emphasis on conjugation and declension would make for a comparatively poor foundation for branching into modern Romance languages. Any thoughts on that?

Anyone know where I can get this for cheap? Also would anyone know if "Getting Starting with Latin" by William Linney is any good?

I'm and I saw a bunch of used copies (especially earlier editions) going for as little as $8, but decided not to fuck with that for fear of trying to learn Latin from a marked-up book.
Ended up running me about $30 new on amazon. It's a surprisingly small book, too.

Literally never fucking use Lingua Latina per se illustrata
hoooly shit, it's a fucking meme.
>Should I learn math using this textbook that every single other person used to learn math.. and that has worked for billions of people.. or should I listen to a kooky internet website that tells me I can only *REALLY* learn math by entering a mystical numbertrance and dancing with the hyperdimensional graph-elves?
Lingua Latina is fucking retarded, a failed experiment, or half-baked at best
Just use Wheelock or Shelmerdine, first is easily pirated. Self-teaching is totally doable. Just keep at it and be okay with asking questions when you get stuck on conceptual stuff.

m8 how many people do you know who studied latin, let alone maintained their control of the language?

You're far better off learning Greek

Literally anyone looking to learn Latin sucks at learning languages and Latin is the most easiest language to learn so
