How to improve my latin
How I did it: I used a method I read a blog article about (below in the resources section), where you read Virgil and Ovid with these old editions they have on Google books. What's special about them is that they have a simplified paraphrase in easy Latin to go with the poem. So if you don't know what 'tellus' means, you look in the margin and it says 'terra', which hopefully you do know. It's faster than using English notes because your mind doesn't have to switch gears, and you stay in 'Latin mode' the whole time. It's very effective.
Lessons & tips: Add the books talked about in the article to your bookmarks, and practice daily! This method concentrates on poetry, but it has the hardest word order and vocabulary, so it will help your prose reading, too. For the times you do get stuck, the online Lewis & Short at the Perseus project is nice too.
