Cambridge is the best. I had Latin classes in high school, but the teacher just told us to do the translations and questions. Didn't teach a single thing to us, but I'm not half bad from being essentially self taught.
High school, as I expect most people in Western Europe would.
I didn't learn it with this, but I can not recommend it enough for those wanting to learn:

Populi novi mundi barbari sunt; quia non latina et ne graecum quidem discunt. Quoque alii linguae illīs puerīs rare docent.
Quis ex vobis latine loqui potest?

In Germany you get to choose wether to take French or Latin in most "States" (called "Bundesländer" meaning "federal countries", the state is the federal government so the nomenclatur is reversed here). I don't know if some states still have "Old language highschools", like some used to, where you have latin and old greek and stuff like that.
I attend the Traditional Latin Mass and I am an altar server, so I had to memorize all the prayers and responses in Latin. I've attended it all my life so I picked up a lot of words and phrases from the Mass, Gregorian Chant, and older Catholic books.
We were taught Latin in school, but no, I don't speak it.
I recommend the book "Lingua Latina per se Illustrata" for beginners.
It's written entirely in Latin, but it is easy in the beginning and teaches you as you get along the book.
Here you go OP, I posed the same question on /lit/ a while back and got a boatload of information, I think it would really help you!
