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!

When I told him that that would indeed be quite unlucky, as the word is not in the OCR vocabulary list for GCSE, he just would not believe it and ended up, ironically, looking it up. Surprise: OCR does not require aut (as in...
salve Reader! I hope this email finds you not too tired from the longest term of the year. I am flying to Barcelona on Thursday for a conference, and let me tell you something: am very much ready to have a good rest in the sun! If you are like me, you are probably looking forward to a break, hoping that it will lead to an energetic return in 2026. Now, Reader, when your teen's Latin GCSE is just around the corner, this is not as easily done as it is said! But I am here to help: enter my Latin...
salve Reader! As we wind down for the holidays, I wanted to share with you the outcome of my greatly anticipated podcast cameo on Satura Lanx's Rara Avis. We did not only speak online, but also in person in London! Let me tell you why putting my Latin to good use was so meaningful for me: When I started to learn Latin, I was often told it was a dead subject with little use for "real" life (whatever that is). I guess it did not help that the uni course I chose was called Philology, which...
