if I understand you correctly, then Rosetta Stone digital courses might be similar. No grammar or words are explicitly defined/translated, everything is taught

- Jtsummers 6y agoSort of. I just pulled up that book on Amazon. Check out the "look inside". The first chapter reads as an advanced version of "See Spot. See Spot run. Run Spot run!". Vocabulary is getting introduced slowly and as it builds up there is explanatory text or elaborations (in the prose or in the margins). A description of the language is being presented within the language, which Rosetta Stone doesn't totally get to. Rosetta Stone presents more and more examples with, at times, markings to help illustrate what they're getting at (-ar verbs get conjugated with -o, -as, -a, -amos, -an) but it seems this Latin book (I've exhausted my page views so can't see more sections) actually has a description of Latin in Latin, not just more words/phrases presented individually. (TBF, I never completed a Rosetta Stone course so maybe they get closer to this eventually, but that's not my impression.) https://www.amazon.com/Lingua-Latina-Illustrata-Pars-Familia/dp/1585104205 https://www.amazon.com/Lingua-Latina-Illustrata-Pars-Familia...
- saint_angels 6y agonice approach, though it looks like you have to know enough latin to understand the first pages
