How long does it take to get good at Latin?

If you have greater knowledge of Romance languages, either through it being your native language or one you've learned before, it can take around 600-750 hours to learn Latin. This is the equivalent of about 24-30 weeks in a class, so at least half a year of intensive Latin.

Is it difficult to learn Latin?

Latin has a reputation for being, well, difficult. Tens of thousands if not millions of school children have been through the excruciating pain of learning all the necessary declensions and translating ancient texts.

How can I improve my Latin vocabulary?

Practice saying new words out loud (or writing them). Study vocabulary several times a day for 5-10 minutes at a time. When learning vocabulary, practice conjugating new verbs or declining new nouns and adjectives. Practice using new vocabulary in simple sentences so that you get used to seeing the word in context.
