If you have even the slightest velleity to learn Latin — however impractical you or others may consider the endeavour — you should do it. You really need no better reason than that.

Here are some easily-accessible resources that I’ve found useful over the years.

Latin Grammars & Courses

”At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.” – Elizabeth Barrett-Browning

1. Latin for Beginners by Benjamin D’Ooge (& Answer Key) *
2. Wheelock’s Latin by Frederic Wheelock
3. Gildersleeve’s Latin Grammar by Basil Gildersleeve *
4. New Latin Grammar by Charles E. Bennett *
   My personal favourite. The ‘Word Formation’ chapter is useful for anyone coining mock-Latin.
5. Rudiments of the Latin Tongue by Thomas Ruddiman *
6. Nova sermonis latini palaestra by Arcadius Avellanus *
7. Familia Romana (Lingua Latina) by Hans Henning Ørberg
   Probably the best language book ever written. A brilliant example of the natural method.
8. Latin by the Natural Method by William Most *
    A different approach to Ørberg; not as effective, in my opinion, but interesting nevertheless.
9. Adler’s Grammar (from Latinum.co.uk)*
10. Ahn’s First Latin Course & Answer Key
11. Ahn’s Second Latin Course & Answer Key
