Latin, far from a 'dead language,' has permeated our everyday lexicon, shaping languages like English, Spanish, French, and more. Though not widely taught in schools, self-discipline can pave the way for individual mastery. Begin by acquainting yourself with the Latin alphabet and pronunciation, enabling you to decipher words phonetically. Utilize drills to grasp grammar, an essential skill for reading Latin texts. Soon enough, comprehension of both spoken and written Latin will be within reach. Fortune favors the bold!

Mastery of Pronunciation and Alphabet
Pronouncing Latin consonants mirrors English sounds, owing to the latter's Latin roots. Exceptions include the hard sounds of 'c' and 'g,' resembling their usage in 'cow' and 'go' respectively. The letter 'v' emulates the English 'w,' while 'x' echoes 'ks,' as in 'exit.' The trilled 'r' resembles its Spanish counterpart.
