Some advice please-learning Latin.

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

Dd is in 2nd year of a history degree, with a probable masters. she's veering towards ancient history and is wanting to get a basic understanding of Latin. (Next year there is an Ancient Greek summer school which she can attend, and one of her tutors may run a subsidiary course in Latin, but it's not concrete) What's the best (and cheapest) way to get herself started?

Ds decided to learn latin, and we are working on the Cambridge latin course GCSE books and it's going pretty well, and aren't too expensive on Kindle.

If she can get a place, the Latin Camp seems like it would be perfect for her

Cheers Dibbler! Will look into the course on kindle. The summer school sounds a lot like the Ancient Greek one at Eton.

The CLC course or John Taylor's 'Latin to GCSE/A-Level' books are the clearest, and so will work best for independent study. A lot of university courses use the 'Reading Latin' books, but I really would not recommend these without a tutor to help explain things, as they are often unnecessarily overcomplicated.

Is she at a university which has Classics/Ancient History? If so, they may also run Latin modules which she can join - institutions I've worked at have had a lot of history students taking ancient languages alongside the classics students.
