Absolutely love this course, despite not having the Wheelock book! Why do I say that? Well the teacher gives some fantastic advice on how to learn Latin, for example how to decipher Latin words by breaking them down into their smallest forms etc. I also found his guidance on how to go about learning in general really helpful - Latin is not an easy language to learn, but if you use the Professors methodology you cant fail, i.e. look at your failures as a good thing, forget 1 step forward, 2 steps back, Latin is more like 1 step forward, 3-4 steps back, and even if you only learn one thing per day that must be viewed as good progress. I've been using a combination of Duolingo, this course, the Oxford Latin desk dictionary, and a couple of Latin based wiki's, so the Wheelock book isn't essential par-se, but i do plan to get a copy once I have a basic grasp of the subject. A great course, a must for anyone wanting to learn Latin.
