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!

salve Reader! Did you know the Roman year used to start in March? Yep! It does actually make quite a lot of sense: the land starts being alive again, sailing and long-distance trading can resume... not to speak about warfare! In fact, the month of March is dedicated to Mars, partly because that is when military campaigns resumed. Anyway, we are not going to war (at least not literally, hopefully), but I also enjoy the renewal that comes with the first signs of spring. A bit more on that...
salve Reader, What a week! Languages are very much like Schrödinger's cat: scroll through social media and one minute they are a useless subject superseded by AI, the next they are all people want to talk about. A couple of days ago, I wrote on social media (see below) about the relationship between Welsh and Latin (both are Indo-European languages), and since then, I've been dealing with a barrage of irate comments. People get very angry when they think their linguistic beliefs are being...
salve Reader! Very sorry to mention the H word. Surely half-term break is for resting? Please do not worry: I am not going to send you a vocabulary list to learn! What I am going to do is leave below some events and ideas for you to browse and put in your diary. Those in Y12 are not too pressed for prep at the moment, so now is the time to start working on their university choice. The good news is that it can be most interesting to learn about the different courses and subjects, and what...
