Hi everyone. I would like to learn other languages, namely, one of: Greek, Latin or Russian.
I would like to know what is the best way to go about it. Should I get a book to teach myself from? I'm worried then that I will get the pronunciations wrong. Picking up a course at university is not an option for me.
Could you recommend any good books?
Thank-you for your help
Hi qspeechc, and welcome to the forum.
Why don't you try these book plus CD editions? There are lots of them on amazon, and from the ratings there you can see which are really helpful.
O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.
Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor
Well dear, I`m certain good are efficient in anyway, but when it comes to learning languages I suggest auditory means so that you get into the right pronunciations.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death. - Robert Fulghum

Translation would be productive and vital to you.However,using that Google Translation is just a approximate one.Another alternative is to buy a translation book,and I covet you a windfall to master the languages.
Neither Greek, Latin or Russian are New languages.
Thanks everyone.
