I'm trying to learn Latin. In the past I used the book published by the owner of the channel Polymathy (I think). Is it good? What other resources should I know?

do you have familiarity with any contemporary slavic language?
When my schedule frees up in a few weeks I'm gonna start on OCS. It will be the first classical language I've studied, but I've studied modern languages purely for reading comprehension before. I have Gardiner's Old Church Slavonic Elementary Grammar; does anyone have any other resource suggestions?

Do you mean Familia Romana from the Lingua Latina series? He didn't write that book, but he had recordings of all the chapters on his Latin channel, which were very useful. Unfortunately, he unlisted them all recently. It's a really good book to start with. Read it alongside "A Companion to Familia Romana" by Jeanne Marie Neumann for grammar instruction, as well as "Colloquia Personarum" for additional reading input (he had recordings of that book, too). If you want a more in-depth textbook for the grammar, I like "Learn to Read Latin" by Keller and Russell. You find all these books on the usual sites for downloading PDFs. Here's a chart you may find useful, not that you need to follow it in order.

The best way to learn Latin?
Existential dread. The stress makes you time travel and experience five years of Latin studies in six months before you write the exam that decides whether you can graduate or not.

The books themselves have official recommendations, like "to be read after completing Familia Romana" or "to be read after chapter X of Roma Aeterna." I assume the placement in the chart matches the official recommendations.

Here's a suggested reading order for the Lingua Latina series.

Here's a review by someone who attempted to make a similar book: https://thepatrologist.com/2023/05/12/%CE%BB%CE%BF%CE%B3%CE%BF%CF%83-lgpsi-a-review/

Ranieri made a spreadsheet that, while not an exact equivalent (due to combining multiple textbook series that weren't intended to be used together), is pretty much as close as you're going to get: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16s3pOejAXaUvQ-WCYmFrXo2cnKsl2j0efCrothCp3Y4/edit?usp=sharing
here's the video where he explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vwb1wVzPec (skip to like 47 minutes).

Thanks for the links! Good to see Logos starting off Ranieri's track, and the approach of stacking it with other readers makes sense. Nice to have them all aligned.

If I learned Greek in college, mildly, what's the best way to get back into it? I could translate the Koine Gospels mostly by sight, except for vocab I did not know. Start over and cement good practices, or try to find out which level I can sink myself into? It's been a couple of years since I touched Greek though.

Salvete, Christiani, hoc die festo Paschali.
I Corinthios 5:
7 Expurgate vetus fermentum, ut sitis nova conspersio, sicut estis azymi. Etenim Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus.
8 Itaque epulemur: non in fermento veteri, neque in fermento malitiae et nequitiae: sed in azymis sinceritatis et veritatis.

Impetum in Evangelium Secundam Lucam feci. Quo victo, spero Evangelium Secundum Iohannem insidere.
Quo molimini? Quid legitis, sodales mei?
Etsi occupatus sum aliis mihi perficiendis, tamen mihi nuper accidit, mirabile dictu, ut summa inopinataque impulsio rursus in studium me agitarit; itaque mente valens per superiorem quadriduum mihi videor navasse operam, linguarum discendarum et Graecae et Latinae.

Latin just kills me, man. You spend years studying the grammar, memorizing what takes what case, exams purposefully throwing in curveballs like "ara puellam adorat", and
then you read an actual text and the cases are all over the place and the notes in the back just say shit like "For metrical purposes the object is genitive, the meaning is clear from context."

It's kind of silly. What instructors are using the EHS crosswords as tests or homework assignments? And wasn't LLPSI originally designed primarily for self-study anyway?

"The Epitome Historiae Sacrae answer key and marginal notes (by Frank Nitsche-Robinson) is available as an electronic file (PDF only) for qualified adopters. If you have adopted the text, click here to request the PDF answer key and marginal notes file."
I emailed them & they ignored me...
