This page is designed to help people who are learning Latin, who
want to learn Latin or who have an interest in Latin. Below you will
find links to a range of high-quality resources such as
dictionaries, annotated texts, help with grammar, exercises and
cultural and historical information.
Please use the
links to the left to access Languages Today's resources to
help with learning and understanding Latin. Some are
completely free, some are not. All are offered in good
faith, and we do our best to make sure they are still
relevant and useful to people learning Latin, but ultimately
we cannot be responsible the ongoing quality of their
content.
In addition to
the links on this page you will find other resources and
suggestions from Amazon and Google, which you will hopefully
find useful.
