I was wondering if anyone knew some good curriculum or websites for learning Latin. This may just be a temporary interest, but it's one I have for now. Any recommendations?

I always had an interest in doing this as well. Unfortunately, self study does not work for me so I never made it past a week before my attention flitted to something else.

You should check out the Wheelock books to start. For pronunciation, Vox Latina is nice. There are also some amazing resources on the web, a lot of which centre around the Wheelock series. Alas, I lost most of the links I had collected.

Thanks. Wheelock's is the one sold at Barnes & Noble, the only one other than the dummies/idiots/etc books that is. I'll find out about Vox Latina, I've never seen that one before.
