<p>I want to self-study Latin 1 this summer so I can take Latin 2. I didn't take Latin 1 this year due to scheduling issues and I want to get to AP Latin by senior year. The textbook my school uses for Latin 1 is Ecce Romani 1. I was planning to purchase this textbook, and the workbook and activities that go along with it(audio,tests). I was also thinking about getting Rosetta Stone of Latin, too. Should I get anything else? Should I take on online class instead(I haven't been able to find any)?<br>

<p>Wheelock’s</p>
<p>^ Wheelock’s is very good, but it’s a little advanced for Latin 1. Once you get through that book (and understand it well), you would be prepared for Latin 4 (at my school, at least). I’d recommend picking up Cambridge Latin Course Unit 1. Translate all the stories and memorize the vocab (about 20 words per chapter). After that, you should be fine.</p>
<p>The key to early Latin, no matter what book, is a solid foundation. You need to be able to recognize declensions, personal endings, and vocab easily, or it will be very hard for you down the road.</p>
<p>Ecce Romani sucks, I use it. U should take Latin 1 next year to get a solid foundation, and if your hell bent on taking AP Latin then self study Latin 2. You need a solid foundation.</p>
