hold up remarkably well, though they could still do with some updating, and a separate set of illustrations

It really incenses me how little effort has been put into creating a comprehensive, cohesive, compact, sensible, ordered curriculum for English in particular (and to a somewhat lesser degree mathematics)
I feel forced to do it myself

These are not books for autodidacts.

I made a thread on /pol/ a few days ago where I linked that book in the OP. Did you get it from there?

No, i’ve been using their books for a few years, it’s my preferred way of language study. also stop using /pol/ you’ll find nothing decent there and only rot your brain

Autodidactism is based but I don't know what books to reccomend, encyclopedias are good.

This thread is for adults who want to teach themselves, not teach their children. That book works very well for that, as the image in the OP shows and as you can see on the pages onward from the page in that image, which is this page:

https://archive.org/details/childsillustrate00keet/page/20/mode/1up

Your books are of no interest to anyone other than a parent or teacher teaching a small child, which is not to teach yourself.

teach yourself to admit error instead of further embarrassing yourself
you should have learned this as a small child

All easily available on internet archive, if you are less monetarily inclined

I know all those books. Just asked in case others wanted to know and in case there was a book in the series I had missed. Latin by the Natural Method by William Most is not published by the Nature Method Institutes as far as I know. Maybe you meant Familia Romana.

your opinion is worth nothing, you are an aggro moron, and yet I don't want to ban you because your foolishness is self-evident, however, you want to ban me from speaking because of my supremely higher correctness, my very existence irritates you because you see me as being superior to you because I have access to truth you're too foolish to access, which you could very easily access but you enjoy foolishness too much to discard it, you are a fool.

This is in fact the root of all desires to ban speech, your ideas cannot withstand any kind of critique, so you must ban all correct ideas, naturally, then you suffer for destroying the truth.
>>
>>25399025
>you must ban all correct ideas
metaphorically bursting into a room and shitting on the floor is apparently your notion of a 'correct idea'
you've been directly asked to produce anything of value and instead resorted immediately to insults that betray your linguistic poverty
see the post above yours? that's how little it takes to not be a faggot

>>25399025
Work on your prose.

Whatever, I will speak and you will shit yourself attempting to ban me, blow it out your ass tyrant.

Thank you, Anon. I’ve just had a skim through a few of these and they look great.

>>25393827
Is this a good resource? I've been following along for quite a while now. I'm currently halfway through Sidney Greenbaum's Grammar book.
>>
>>25402868
Not if you want to study the Trivium. Skip English grammar and study Latin grammar and general grammar.

Once proficiency is attained in Latin, should you come back to English grammar?

>>25403045
>general grammar
You mean like a broad linguistic book from someone like Chomsky?

Chomsky is an anti-Trivium brainwashing plant, avoid.

Study Latin, it gives you a knowledge of general grammar. The grammar in the Trivium was Latin grammar. The "Trivium" that contains English grammar is just larp.

There are also books on general grammar like

thank you! in a thread months or maybe even a year ago, somebody posted a beginners latin book that was very much in the style of the french example in the OC of this thread. I thought i bookmarked it but now I can't find it. Does anyone know what I am talking about?
>>
>>25403826
I don't know a book for Latin that looks like that exactly but if you mean having the English words underneath then that's called interlinear or Hamiltonian system, there are many books with that, here's one.

thank you I had no idea! these are great.

>>25403841
Stfu and study Latin
>>
>>25403816
After doing a little searching, it seems that Latin and ancient Greek were traditionally paired as the cornerstone of "The Classics." Should I study the two together, or does Latin alone suffice?
>>
>>25403816
Why should Latin be more important than learning English? Why would Latin grammar have anything more special about it than English grammar? From my perspective, Latin just seems like a dead language that no one uses anymore.

I suggest you begin with Latin and study Greek later. Another book to check out is Familia Romana with supplementary books and audio.

I found this Latin primer which has grammar instruction interspersed with interlinear reading sections.

>>
>>25404679
English can convey everything Latin can. It just relies more on word order and auxiliaries as opposed to inflectional morphology.

Your hate boner for the language you're using is fascinating.
>>
>>25404696
Then keep using English only and gtfo out of this thread, uncultured swine.
