A hopefully not too pedestrian YouTube video

salve Reader! Guilty as charged: I have not been keeping up with my public YouTube channel as much as I initially planned for the Spring term. The new membership, my ongoing writing projects, my work for the ARLT... it has been an incredibly exciting term.

Surely it is because they do not have a dictionary? Wrong. There is a moment and a place for a dictionary, and the dictionary you choose (if indeed you need one) is key to success. In my latest blogpost I share my thoughts on when, how and why choose a dictionary, covering all the needs from Year 5 to Year 13. Let me...
salve Reader! Did you know that more than half of the Latin students who come to me for support do not know how to say "yes" in Latin? You may think it is outrageous, but it is actually rather normal for students who are just about to sit their GCSEs. Imagine spending four years learning French and not knowing how to say "yes". You would rightly think that you are not really learning a language, but just some disconnected grammar and vocabulary. That is why I choose not to teach for the exam....
