first perhaps insignificant problem: lingua latina per se illustrata is indeed the latin for, paraphrasing here, teaching latin in latin. to borrow from this reference at all, the book should have a comparative title in greek. the first problem with learning greek is getting familiar with the alphabets and their phonetics, a problem almost non-existent with latin since the latin script is very widespread. regardless, i'll take it for a spin. i've had polis' speaking greek as a living language (https://www.polisjerusalem.org/resource/speaking-ancient-greek-as-a-living-language-3/ https://www.polisjerusalem.org/resource/speaking-ancient-gre...) sitting on my shelf but haven't had time to study.
