Hello,

I am looking for a latin method, apparently written by a danish professor.
>From what I know, it is written so as to learn latin without (or with very
few) references to the learner's mothertongue.
You just learn latin, by constantly improving your skills with gradual
exercises, as if you were "bathed" into a latin world. No transalations, no
repetitive learning of declensions etc... You're supposed to learn "from the
inside" of the tongue. Have you heard of it ? Do you know the references ?
(I am a beginner)
