Some of you may have ancestors from Europe, so it is not a stretch to think Latin is beneficial to you for spells, rituals, or generally connecting with the lost heritage. All of the advice that normally applies to learning languages is not applicable to Latin, which fell out of use over a thousand years ago. For this reason, the best methods that exist for learning the language tend to be unconventional.

If you are a complete beginner and do not have a background speaking Spanish, Portuguese, or any other similar language such as French, you can begin by watching youtube videos that exist on the language for basic vocabulary. Italian is the most similar to classical Latin so that can be studied as a bridge to learning Latin and it has more existing resources such as television and music. However it should be noted classical Latin has a completely different grammar to how we normally speak today.

You will probably end up learning Latin through google translate which has its problems, but can immerse you in the language as you browse the web like you normally would. You have to listen to audio eventually so you know how to pronounce words, but once you are able to read and understand a good amount of things, it makes things a lot easier. Translate pages you are familiar with, the marxist internet archive, or any webpage where you already know what it says. You might learn a form of bastardized Latin, but it’s not like anybody is alive who speaks the language natively to correct you.
