Hi there,

Im looking to start leaning Church Latin, so I can particate more fully at the traditional Mass and also to learn the prayers and hymns.

I looking for recommendations on beginners Latin, books, Cd’s, ect.

Also I will need help with pronunciation, as this is a problem with me when reading along at Mass.

Any help it greatly appreciated,

Thanks & God Bless,

Tony.
 
If you have not already done so, I suggest you read through the Latin Resources sticky here on the Traditional Catholic forum: forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=173658. That will give you an idea of the many options that are available.

Have you done any other language study before? If you know about your own learning style, it could help to find a good match with a program that suits you. Do you have a strong background in grammar concepts, either from studying English or another language? Are you interested in a fast pace or slower one? Are you interested in Latin for religious use only, or would you like to go beyond that? The more you have a sense of what you want from a program the easier it is to find one that will satisfy you.

I absolutely loved learning Latin from Moreland and Fleischer’s Latin book:

amazon.com/Latin-Intensive-Floyd-L-Moreland/dp/0520031830/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285274281&sr=1-1

As the title suggests, this book gives you the essentials very quickly without getting bogged down in a lot of extraneous details that aren’t that helpful for beginners. So, it’s good for rapidly progressing through the grammar and self-study and review.

Once you’ve learned Classical Latin, Ecclesiastical Latin is an absolute breeze. There are a number of websites that explain the pronunciation differences between classical and later Latin–they are quite minor.
