A long summer to fill?

July Newsletter

salve Reader,

As I went on to write this newsletter, I realised there has been quite a gap since the last one. Oooops! Or, as the Romans would say: eheu!

No excuse, but it has been far from quiet here: dedicated students kept me on my feet, and the work we have done together will shape my offerings for the summer and beyond.

And you may have noticed a change in colours... and even the logo! But that's not all. My new website will be better and more organised for sharing resources, so read on to see what's new there.

Here is what is in store for the coming weeks:

​Latin Foundation Course​

I have seen how Latin can transform academic performance, and I want to make it easy for parents to introduce the subject, even if the school children attend is not offering it or they are home-educated.

If you have a young student about to start Latin or considering it as an option, this is the course for you to

  • Help your child understand how Latin is all around us and catch it on the spot
  • Introduce them in an engaging way to a subject that will make them better readers, better spellers, and better speakers
  • 7 days of content in your inbox, with access to the platform for a whole year to go over it as many times as you like

Back to my website, resources have moved. The blog will now be dedicated to parents and students, whereas my Patreon site will feature resources for teachers as well as a space for conversation.

In the next few days, I will be sharing some resources to bring the Romans to life during the summer months. To make sure you do not miss anything, do follow on social media:

salve Reader! Parents often come to me with questions about the best language GCSE for their child: Is it enough to take just one language, modern or ancient? What combination of languages works best? Is it too difficult to get a 9 in any of the language GCSEs? How does the language you choose affect your chances for a Russell Group university, or for a course in particular? And what happens if you do not take any languages at all? Having celebrated outstanding GCSE results just a couple of...

salve Reader! First things first: results are coming. I will be available for consultation all day on the 14th and 21st, and will be offering advice and support around those dates if needed, as well as celebrating before we all have a well-deserved rest in preparation for the new school year. But before I disconnect for my holiday (yes, even Latin teachers must rest, even if said rest includes archaeological sites!), I wanted to share with you some exciting news: I have been invited to be...

salve! I am often asked questions like "Why is Latin still being taught?" or "What is Latin for?" This is no wonder. In the past, plenty of people were taught Latin as if it were a game of Sudoku: here is a puzzle, here are some rules and off you go: figure it out. Indeed, why would one want to engage in that?! Languages are tools for communication, and people communicate through conversation and storytelling. Although some may love the challenge of solving puzzles, solving puzzles is often...
