I find that it's really difficult not to cheat, even if you do cover up the
english side with a piece of paper first. If you read any other languages, I
would recommend finding a book with the greek/other language parallel
instead of english. When I first started learning Latin someone gave me a
Greek-Latin New Testament and it's been extremely helpful: when I stumble on
a Latin phrase, I look at the Greek, and vice versa, and between the two I
can figure out what it's saying. I find this much more helpful and
challenging than cheating with English... although probably impractical if
you're looking for books that use the desired languages...
my two cents :)
