A proper topic should be: Popular Greek and Latin introductory textbooks outside the English-speaking world.
I am just curious, and I would appreciate if you would take the trouble to kill this cat. As a matter of fact, I will hardly be using any even if what you suggest combine the flair of Plato and pedagogy of some nameless genius, as my English is still a bit better than others like German and French. By the way, are the teaching/learning schedules in other countries the same as the US? I mean, grammar supposedly finished in 1st year, followed by reading (or decoding) authentic texts.

IMHO, the perfect non-English textbook is still Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata by the late Hans H. Ørberg. It's completely in Latin. As you can see from the example page from the first chapter that I linked to, you can figure out most of the sentences without the help of a bilingual dictionary or a grammar book.
I really wished there were more books like this for other languages. Edited by Doitsujin on 30 May 2014 at 2:37pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Another excellent early reader in Latin is Mima Maxey's Cornelia:
available free here https://archive.org/details/MN40039ucmf_6 or you can get it as an audio book (with the PDF) read by Evan der Millner for $5 http://store.payloadz.com/details/1010471-audio-books-langua ges-cornelia-a-latin-story- for-beginners-by-mima-maxey-2hrs23mins.html 2 persons have voted this message useful |
