Almost reminds me of the Lingua Latina method I used to learn Latin.

You basically read a text that is totally in Latin, with occasional images to guide you.

It starts off very simply, and gradually introduces new vocabulary and grammar. You intuitively learn as you go along.

The books are out of print, but you can still get them on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Lingua-Latina-Pars-Familia-Romana/dp/1...

Yes, was going to mention it too. It's incredible and works so well... It's basically a khan academy for Latin and a shame not more people know about it. Definitely the way to go if you want to learn Latin the way a roman child learned it :-)
