If you want a physical real book Latin diction I highly recommend:

Another Lingua Latina glossary

 

A website that adds macrons to your Latin (and spellchecks!): Macronizer

 

There is a Discord server of users of our textbook. You can join it here: https://discord.gg/SZuq69KR

There is also general Latin (and Greek) server here: https://discord.gg/latin

I barely understand how Discord works, but some people have found these useful
