Fastest way to learn a new language?

I’m an American and I only speak English fluently although I speak a little (VERY little) German. I had three years of Latin in high school. I’m looking to learn to speak Spanish, but I don’t want to take classes if I don’t have to. Anyone know of a product/system that worked for them?

Is Greek a hard language to learn?

I’m a classical arcaheology major and I have to take Greek. I was wondering if it is really hard to learn. I already Speak English and Spanish, conversational French, and some Italian and Portuguese but I don’t think if these languages will help me since they are Latin based.

Question about the English/German/Latin language?

I have been doing some research about the english language and I have found that it has a lot of latin cognitives in it and also german cognitives. I have also found that the german language is not latin based but it uses the Latin Alphabet system. Why does the german language use the Latin Alphabet system if it is not Latin based? Or maybe it is latin based but I have just did improper research. The same goes with english, I have found that it is considered a old german language BUT again the english language uses the Latin Alphabet system.
Why is this?

Help: Latin Language?

Having some difficulties with the Latin language. I have need of two phrases, terms or names. Any help would be much appreciated!

A name of a place (noun): “Castle of Life and Death” How to say this in Latin as a name of a place?

Closest I can come to is: “Castellum of Vita and Letum” or “Moenia of Vita quod Nex”

The next is an entity “Most Beloved One” as a reference to one person.

“carus Unus” ?

Also it would be a huge help to me to know how to use words such as (and, the, of, as,) etc., *prepositions* in the Latin language in simple sentences. I mean what are they and are they used differently from other languages? If I recall correctly I was told that the English language uses too many unnecessary words which seems about right so I am having difficulty knowing when words above would be used or not used.

Thanks in advance and forgive me if my question is confusing.
