On Thursday, I will be closing the doors to my self-paced Latin GCSE Revision Course, and I wanted to give you a heads-up that when I open them again on October 20, the price will have moved from £97 from £250. Below is a preview of the topics covered. If you go to the page, you can preview a small section on learning adverbs using gestures. It is well worth a look! But this is just a snapshot: the new extended version will include additional content on vocabulary learning and plenty of tools for testing and consolidating. If you have any questions, please reply to this email, and I will get back to you—just as I do within the course! If you are already a member, there is nothing you need to do. New sections will appear that you can access straight away. And remember: as a course member, you get priority when asking for new sections or resources. Use it!

salve Reader! After a rather eventful 2025 (photos at the bottom of this email), 2026 promises to be as Roman as ever – hence calling it 2779, which is what it would have been for the Romans. Note: Romans counted ab urbe condita, from "the foundation of the city", so the counting starts 753 years before the birth of Christ. I have been finalising courses, trips and publications (yay!) for this year, so this is email is short a quick selection of notices to keep you updated. Courses: My Latin...
salve Reader! I hope this email finds you enjoying some good rest in a great place and with even better company. I am currently in my hometown, Sallent, in the centre of Catalonia, after a stimulating conference on language acquisition and a meeting with teachers from around the world in Barcelona. The line in the subject is from one of the cosiest of Horace's poems (or at least it can be read like that): 'avoid to seek what tomorrow will bring'. Well, I will admit that is a loose...
