A bit of Roman gossip


I have just published my latest video in easy Latin for GCSE students, which I had great fun recording. Even if you are not using this OCR set text, you can enjoy it with just some basic vocabulary. So go ahead!

Once you have watched it using the link below, I would love to hear your thoughts on the resources you need to make your Latin learning and exam preparation journey successful. Do you prefer short stories? Or do gap-fill exercises work best for you? Are you perhaps a translation person? Or are you a prose composition convert? I would need to put my hand up for that one when it comes to grammar!

Happy face after a whole day sharing my love for Latin If you know anything about me, you will have noticed that I am very big on making Latin accessible by using it...

salve Reader! Half-term is around the corner (yes, it truly is!). For me, half-term is very busy with mock preparation and Oxbridge interview support, and I will be available for online tuition. But do not worry, as you have probably heard, I am flying to Naples to dive in a submerged Roman city (somebody pinch me!) and work on my next set of resources just before that. However, I am not going to leave without offering a few suggestions to help your student during this half-term. You might...
