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! However you learn Latin, just reply to this email and let me know what resources you need the most. I am currently updating my GCSE Grammar revision course as well as my resources on Patreon, and it would be great to help fill your gaps. And before you forget: do send me your requests for new resources! I am all ears. |

OK, maybe I am...
salve Reader! I recently shared a year-in-review carousel on Instagram, celebrating everything "2025–2006" has brought. This was not intended to be 2006 to 2025, but rather 2025 to 2026! Another time, I should write about what I did from 2006 onward, which truly was another life, but my recent post was meant for just 12 months, even though some people were impressed that I had done so much in 19 years! (offending post at the bottom) Typos aside, it has been an amazing year, and I think...
salve Reader! As a tutor, I take every opportunity to get back in the hot seat, and this week it came in the form of an invitation to participate in Nightschool with Geoff Lloyd, live on Virgin Radio. Let me tell you: it was not perfect, but it was SUCH a laugh. And that, to be honest, is the way forward in a world increasingly dominated by perfectly curated bland AI content.
