Dear June,

You might find that the following text is a less
overwhelming introduction to the study of Pali than
Warder's (I did):
Pali Primer
By Lily de Silva,M.A., Ph.D
Published By: Vipassanna Research Institute, 1994,
1995
ISBN: 81-7414-014-X

IWhen you get the desire to actually read some texts,
however, you can go to:
A New Course in Reading Pali - Entering the Words of
the Buddha
By: James W. Gair & W.S. Karunatillake
Published By: Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi, 1998, 2001
ISBN: 81-208-1440-1 (Cloth)
ISBN: 81-208-1441-x (Paper)

For Quick "Look-ups" of Spcific Terms:
A Pali-English Glossary of Buddhist Technical Terms
Compiled by Bhikkhu Nanamoli
Published By: Buddhist Publication Society, 1994, 1998
ISBN: 955-24-0086-4

Although I don't remember exactly, I probably used
Amazon.com to help me find and purchase these books.

Take heart - It does get easier as knowledge builds on
knowledge.

Metta,

Roberta
