I know it is the middle of the summer 🏖️but..

For the last couple of days, I have been working from sunny Hispania - that's Spain for those still working on their Roman geography! Between lessons, mosquito dodging, and some Roman sightseeing, I have also been busy planning for the year ahead. And I have some big news: I am revamping my Latin Grammar Revision for GCSE course. I have improved my recording set-up and will create new versions of existing videos, as well as new explanations and activities. If you are already a member, you will get direct access to the new course so you can continue enjoying the benefits. The new course will launch in October, and the new price will be £250. If think this course is for you, you have 4 weeks left to access it at the current £97 price. This is what you will get:
If you are unsure about what to do starting in September, just reply to this email or request a complimentary assessment. I still have 2 spaces left in my GCSE Revision group class, which meets on Fridays at 7:15. I am also in the process of organising Greek courses both from scratch and for ICCG preparation. I cap all my courses at 5 participants, so spaces are very limited. Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment! And remember: I may be in Spain, but I am just a click away!

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...
September is most definitely here, and students will be starting to rush to Quizlet to revise their vocabulary and get up to speed. But are they making the best use of their time? Quizlet gives us the illusion that we are working hard: Look at all the right answers! And the amount of words I have seen on the screen! But those words will probably not stick for long if you do not use them. Ultimately, you are just clicking away and committing them to memory... temporarily. So what can you do...
This week, I heard back from my first ICCG cohort, and we celebrated their excellent results together. This made me think about access to classical Greek and all the people who miss a chance to learn because of misunderstandings about who can and can't do it. Let us be honest: Have you been told that Greek is only reserved for the most clever of all students and that you can only do it if you attend a highly selective school? This is simply not true, although I have heard it more times than I...
