<p>My school only offers IB Latin, and unfortunately I will not be able to take it next year. Does anyone know where I can take an AP Latin class, preferably online? I have been taking Latin for 3 years, and this year we studied Ovid and some Vergil.</p>
<p>I would consider self-studying Latin, but how would I do so? What books would I need to buy?</p>
<p>Look at the Cambridge course</p>
<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I’m a homeschooled student who has been self-studying Latin for about two years (more or less, can’t remember) and I think I can answer your question.</p>
<p>First, I would look for a good copy of the Aeneid. I guess that sounds obvious, but some people don’t actually make the connection. The Loeb Classical Library offers it in two volumes (one volume is books 1-6, second 7-12) which the original text and a rough translation. </p>
<p>Second, get a book to review basic (declensions, basic conjugations, etc.) to advanced (Jussive Noun Clauses, etc.) grammar. Wheelock’s is fine. A book I like which is more succint is Excelability in Advanced Latin. </p>
<p>Third, this is optional, but get a Latin-English dictionary. Cassell’s works fine.</p>
<p>I’m actually taking AP Latin Vergil this summer and the following academic year so I don’t know how helpful my advice will be, but I still hope this is helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. I’ll look into Cambridge, and I already have Wheelock’s and Aeneid.</p>
<p>I’m an incoming senior who took Latin IV the 2011-12 school year (this past year). I got a 5 on the AP. Even though I was in a class, I had to self-study on my own a lot. However, I’ve heard from my teacher that the curriculum is changing to include several passages from Caesar. You might want to check on this information before you start.</p>
<p>And you would probably want a dictionary, as well as Clyde Pharr’s Vergil, books 1-6. The latter is an invaluable resource.</p>
<p>Hello dingbat12,</p>
<p>Can you make any further recommendations? It would be really helpful coming from someone who has done well on the exam. By the way, I believe the change to the curriculum will be adding several passages from the Gallic Wars.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
