Reddit reviews Latin: An Intensive Course

I don't know how one would learn ecclesiastical latin exactly, but I quite like [Moreland and Fleischer] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0520031830/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all) although I've heard good things about Wheelock (probably the most famous latin textbook EVER)

The good thing about learning classical latin is that in a few weeks you'll be able to do medieval latin, and if you choose to keep going you can read awesome classical latin stuff.

Apps? Duolingo is pretty famous but idk if they have a latin section. I'm a big fan of Mango languages, and I know for a fact they do latin.

Once you've started you should look into Paul Hudson's SPQR app. It has (among a vast array of other stuff) a vulgate with english translation, parser, 2-way dictionary, all the charts and tables you need, and about a billion other things.

The most rigorous in terms of speed of content presentation and complexity thereof is probably Moreland & Fleischer's Latin: An Intensive Course; it even introduced the subjunctive in chapter 2! That's not to say it's the best, but it is probably the most rigorous.

I find Allen and Greenough useful as a reference book, but I wouldn't recommend that someone sit down and just read through it as grammar review. I'd suggest Moreland and Fleischer for that instead.

I suggested it in another thread as well: Moreland & Fleischer.

There are some great resources here. I prefer to learn Latin (and other languages) 'synthetically' (learning the forms and grammar and so forth) rather than 'naturally' (as in lingua latina per se illustrata), so I've preferred books like Moreland & Fleischer. If you are learning through audio, you might find it useful to use this as a 'reference grammar.'

There's also a good book called Latin Grammar that is specifically a reference intended for reading the breviary and Missal. So after you have some foundation, you can use it to look at the ecclesiastical words/forms you might encounter.

Also, especially since you say you use audiovisual methods a lot, an in-person class (such as at a community college or similar near you) is irreplaceable. Vale.

If your understanding of grammar needs work, I highly recommend at a minimum picking up a used Latin grammar (like this one or this one) and reading through the grammar explanation bits. That should give you more solid ground, especially with declensions.

edit: Oh, or maybe this.
