salve Reader!

I hope you are enjoying a restful Easter break. I have recently been asked what happens at the live workshops for my self-paced courses and A-Level membership, and whether going through the materials alone covers the same skills.

Before I give you a little peek, here are some benefits to working through interaction:

• I encourage participation and engagement so that the language becomes meaningful
• Students learn to negotiate meaning and build on their peers' ideas, and they are challenged to share their translation suggestions in a friendly environment
• They get to experience a tutorial approach with targeted feedback, which is not always possible in schools

This prepares them not just for their exams (which are very close indeed!) but also for future academic success, from Oxbridge interviews to later university life.

On Sunday, we had our first workshop for my brand new A-Level Mastery Hub. Here is how it worked:

1. We activated existing vocabulary and introduced new words through specially designed images and translation from Latin to Latin.

2. We translated an adapted text chosen specifically for vocabulary building and moving beyond the textbook.

3. We topped it up with some Latin conversation (yes, everyone can speak Latin if they try!) to make sure we use the language for proficiency.

Other activities at workshops include games, dramatisations, grammatical analysis, composition, and much more.

If you need a bit of help making Latin stick, here are the links for you:

By the way, our next GCSE workshop is on Thursday, 2nd at 10 am, and there is still time to join if you are a member of the Latin GCSE Revision Course, which you can now access for a monthly rate of £47.

Let us be loud about Latin together!
