Hi I did Latin in school.I started learning at 6 or 7.We used to learn it through songs and watching videos like these ones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrX5k713gAA and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN9WZfvYWgU .My mom helped me at home too she got dingolingo latin and we watched videos of song school latin on you tube.
In secondary school it got harder as there was a lot of translations and they were hard but I soon got the hang of it.
I did Irish,French,Spanish and Latin in school. Being honest I found latin the hardest and Spanish the easiest.Spanish and French are completely different to latin and being honest so much easier.I'm not going to comment on Irish because I'm Irish and live in the Gaeltacht so I speak irish every day.
Anyway best of luck with the Latin!Amo,amas,amat,amamus,amatus,amant....I'm singing now
