Still doing the easy beginner chapters, but I can see how Greek is similar to Latin so far. Sometimes there's a weird word though, and I think hmm, I wonder what the etymology of that is? So I look it up and the answer is "uhhh maybe it's pre-Greek? 🤷♂️"

I did eventually manage to get a better scan of this from the BNF. 18th/19th century French cursive is pretty weird but it's definitely Maleszewska
