A free introduction to the study of Greek and Latin aimed at those who have no knowledge of the subject. Introduces noun cases, verb inflections, word order and some vocabulary. Good stuff for free but too basic for anyone who has done even a little of either language. It was also repetitive. Latin gets introduced first, and then the book moves on to Greek but the very same pints, sometimes with the same examples are used in the Greek section.

It looks like this was originally two taster sessions, one for Latin and another for Greek, written together and then sandwiched together in one book.

Still, if you know nothing of these languages, it is good information for free and you can't do better than that.
