Are you in? Spaces are limited


salve Reader!

Many of you have been asking about my Introductory Latin course, so I am very happy to say that the next cohort will be starting in just a week, on October 12th.

I have now opened registration, and spaces are limited, so please book quickly to avoid disappointment.

The Introductory Latin Course in a Nutshell

  • 24 lessons designed by a Qualified Teacher
  • Direct access to me in the comment section to ask your questions
  • Quizzes and activities to check your understanding
  • An open door to the world of the Romans and the benefits of studying Latin
  • Certificate of completion

Here is what happens when you enrol

  1. You get access to the materials and have a whole year to complete the course, although I doubt you will want to wait that long!
  2. You can watch all available videos as many times as you like in your own time
  3. You can play the games and complete the activities as many times as you like

N.B.: A parent or carer's email needs to be used to sign up, but your child can use the moderated comment section to communicate and share their work. You can monitor their progress, and you will be notified by email as soon as I post a reply.

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...

salve Reader! Today I was working on some new resources, and a fun discussion I had with a student last year came to mind. It went like this: We were joking about looking up easy words in the vocab list due to lack of confidence, and as an example he mentioned aut ('or'). 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.
