Latin Course for the Virtual School of Languages
"This course is based on the German Latin course "Cursus Novus Compactus", translated and completed by Judith Meyer (alias Junesun) for the Unilang project "Virtual School of Languages"... The course consists of many units, some of which still need to be brought into a computer-acceptable format, which contain text(s), vocabulary, grammar, exercises and information on aspects of life in Ancient Rome. The course starts with lessons for people who know no Latin at all and will enable you to read original texts, for example Caesar's De Bello Gallico or Catull's poems. In addition to the course, I'll post material for intermediate readers, who know the basic rules of Latin and want to practise a bit."

Latin For Mountain Men
"Here are two dozen short lessons on learning Latin designed for "mountain men" (and women: montani montanaeque), engineers, philosophers, and anyone else looking for entertainment and with lots of free time by the campfire. My course is quite different from Peter Jones' Learn Latin (New York: Barnes and Noble, 1997), but it is just as devoted to interesting you in Latin. If my course doesn't please, by all means have a look at Jones' book, which is published by, and available at, Barnes and Noble in the US. Elsewhere on this site, I have suggestions for the more formal study of Latin and Greek. There is also a huge amount of material available to you on the web and elsewhere."
Latin Grammar
"Welcome to the Latin grammar pages. Here you will find paradigms for the five noun declensions and four verb conjugations, as well as examples of a number of irregularities. (Yes, pronouns are declined as well.) And examples -- yes lots of examples to help you in your study of Latin grammar and syntax."

"Welcome to the beginners’ Latin tutorials. These lessons cover the type of Latin used in official documents written in England between 1086 and 1733. This can be quite different from classical Latin, as used by the Ancient Romans. We recommend that you begin with lesson 1 and work through to lesson 12. Lesson 1 is the most simple; lesson 12 is the most difficult."
The Project Gutenberg EBook of New Latin Grammar, by Charles E. Bennett
"he present work is a revision of that published in 1908. No radical alterations have been introduced, although a number of minor changes will be noted. I have added an Introduction on the origin and development of the Latin language, which it is hoped will prove interesting and instructive to the more ambitious pupil. At the end of the book will be found an Index to the Sources of the Illustrative Examples cited in the Syntax."
