Latin

There are way too many Latin programs out there for me to decide which is best. I only have personal experience with Wheelock and it was not a successful or happy experience. I have looked at Latina Christiana, Henle, Cambridge, Oxford, Latin is Fun, & Latin via Ovid. Tonight in my browsing I found some more:

Beginner's Latin from the National Archives
This free tutorial focuses on 1086-1773.

Latinum podcasts
I like that these videos focus on listening to Latin and on pronunciation. That was always something that confused me in the Latin class I took years ago at college. Well, actually quite a bit frustrated in that class frustrated me but that is probably best saved for another post.

I love that this site is specifically geared to homeschoolers and self-studiers (is that even a word?) I loved this even more when I saw a comment on amazon mentioning that the text used is available on google books. That sent me off to check it out immediately and now I have my own free and legal copy! I am excited to be able to start using this without having to order anything new.
