Quizlet does not work: here is what to do instead


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 instead?

Enter READING, SPEAKING, WRITING AND LISTENING.

What else does work? Seeing those words repeatedly in different contexts and using them in all their different forms.

This is why I have decided to revamp my GCSE Latin Grammar Revision course. When I designed the course, plenty of vocabulary revision was already ingrained in the activities, but I noticed that my students needed to integrate the vocabulary in as many places as possible in a more explicit way.

So here is the big news: from October, new sections will be added to the existing ones to help with this crucial consolidation. This is not the only thing that will change: there will be new ways to interact and new activities to engage in, and much more accountability will be built into the program. I am determined to get you to that 9, and we do not have that long to go!

If you are already a member of the course, there is nothing that you need to do: you will see the changes as they appear. But if you were on the fence, I would like you to be aware that price will be going up to £250 to make sure I can give the bespoke help needed.

To secure the current £97 price, please purchase before the end of the month to avoid disappointment.

salve Reader! A couple of weeks ago, I received an invitation to speak at a very (very) popular podcast... in Latin. I was honoured. I was terrified. I worried about my Latin fluency under pressure, and declining seemed the best option. But I did not say "no". I constantly tell my students that languages are to be spoken and that making mistakes is part of the learning process. I also tell them that speaking Latin can be fun and not just an exercise in accuracy. And so I went on the podcast,...

salve Reader! You will have noticed I have been a bit quiet recently. No need to fret: I have not disappeared just before the mocks! I just had a longer-than-expected recovery from wisdom tooth extraction, so videos would have looked, let us say, interesting. But I am back, and for many schools, mocks are around the corner, so let me show you what I have in store! Today, I want to highlight some key resources and announce a free live event exclusively for parents of GCSE students that you...

salve Reader! I am currently reassessing students' progress and individual plans while putting the finishing touches to the Latin GCSE Revision Course, and time is a bit tight at the moment. However, last Friday I attended such a powerful and motivating conference that I had to share a few ideas with you, including revision tips. Happy face after a whole day sharing my love for Latin If you know anything about me, you will have noticed that I am very big on making Latin accessible by using it...
