I'm attempting to learn both Latin and German (and will also need to have a basic understanding of French and Greek) over the next three years. I've got Rossetta Stone, but was wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to textbooks or programs (free/online would be the best).

babelfish for one word translations. More than one word and it gets super super sketchy.

Babelfish? At least use Google Translate.

Can they do declensions/conjugations?

Google is evil.

Dont think so. Try Charles(i think) Jenney for Latin.

I used English Road to Grammar to learn Latin, but I think it's kind of expensive.

For translating latin on a single word basis, I used this awesome program called Words.

It never failed me through Latin 4. Even better, it's free.

I go on Google Translate and translate random phrases into Dutch. And sometimes German.

Google Translator doesn't teach grammar, and it also sometimes lies.

I know. It translated "Ein Feste Burg" as "A Large Burg"
