I'm having a problem opening the book called '' Latin For Beginners''. I downloaded it off the website but I don't know what program to use to open it.

The text book by Benjamin D'Ooge is a plain PDF-file. You can open it using the freely availabe Acrobat Reader. Normally that program already should be installed on your computer. Otherwise just download it from Adobe's web site. Perhaps the file is broken, however, something that can happen sometimes (especially when the Internet connection is slow). The size of the file should be 5.70 MB. If it is less than that, just give the download another try.
Good luck with "Latin for Beginners". Don't worry if learning Latin is difficult at first. It is worth it. Anyway, as the saying goes: "Per aspera ad astra" ("through adversity to the stars"). By the way, don't forget to download the "Answer Key" as well so that you can check your progress.
Vale,

I seriously cant understand what the book is trying to say. Especially the first part when they explain how to pronounce the letters. The only thing I learned so far is that Latin has all English alphabets except for ''w'' and ''j''( maybe not ''J'')
Although, I heard there was a book called ''The Everything Learning Latin Book'', and this book helps a person understand Latin on his own without a teacher. The guy called it a '' Self studying book''. I'm only 14 so I don't think Latin for beginners will help me right now. But the problem is I cant find it in the library or on Google to download it. So if you can help get my hands on it it would be great.

Have you tried something like Lingua Latina or books aimed at people your age, such as school texts?

No I haven't. the problem is I don't know what to look for -.-. The ''Latin for dummies'', or '''the everything learning latin book'' looks kiddy enough, just cant find them.
Which is why I chose to join this forum :p
