Latin: The Gold Standard Text: LLPSI
Procure a physical copy of Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Familia Romana. It is written entirely in Latin, starting with simple sentences (Roma in Italia est) and building complexity using only context clues, marginal illustrations, and previously learned words. No English appears anywhere — meaning your brain never gets the chance to lean on translation.
The big idea
A text that explains itself in Latin trains you to think in Latin.
Think about it
If you can already read 'Roma in Italia est' without help, what does that tell you about how much grammar you need before starting to read?
