Hello Remus, welcome!
I am not familiar with the Memoria Press version, but I would like to recommend Hans H. Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata series (link). Everything is in Latin from the beginning, but illustrated and simple.
Thank you, Bryan. That was helpful. Looking more at the Memoria Press course, it seems that they are teaching Church Latin, not Classical Latin, which is a deal breaker for me

Ha! I had already grabbed a link to drop here before I saw your post.
I, too, recommend this as the best introduction. I also recommend reading the late Prof. William Harris' Homeric Prolegomena, but since his website at Middlebury College seems to be no longer operational, I'll see if I can attach a copy.
It seems the PDF is too large. Here is a download link;
Note to Cassius , it would be good to have a copy of this on the filebase here at the forum.
Thank you, Joshua. I think Harris' approach is sound and would apply just as well to learning Latin as to learning Greek. I took the group's advice and ordered a copy of Orberg's book. Thanks everyone!
Done Joshua -- When you get a chance can I get you to add some more description to the document listing?
Thanks Cassius !
Seen on Facebook.... Made me chuckle...
I laughed because I am supposed to but I am not sure I get it ? I can see the "pig" double-meaning, but why put the "vay" at the end?

Latin: Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered)
"Old School" Pig Latin: eni-vay,...
English: Pigs can fly. > Igs-pay an-cay y-flay.

Wikipedia has a surprisingly extensive article on Pig Latin:
I have been learning Greek (Modern) for a few months, but along side all the other books I am reading, it is going to take a while. I just started reading (seriously) about two years ago, and there is so much catching up to do, especially in the timeperiod we are in that has an abundance of material to learn.
Luke Ranieri included this in his latest newsletter:
As for Latin and Greek, here is a new Ancient Greek idiomatic expression I found while perusing LSJ:
ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἥκεις τὸν βατῆρα τῆς θύρᾱς "you arrived right on the threshold of the door" (attributed to Attic comic playwright Amipsias)
It's Latin equivalent is tetigistī acū "you have touched it with a needle" (first attested by comic playwright Plautus), and these both mean "you hit the nail on the head."
