salve Reader! It is such a busy time of the year in the UK.

I will also be offering a GCSE Latin reading (and speaking) fluency course, with a view to giving extra practice time for students preparing to sit their GCSE examinations this year or the next. This course will take place on Thursdays at 8pm. In addition to live classes, I will also be officially launching my self-paced Latin GCSE grammar revision course to everyone at the end of this week. I have had great feedback from the first batch of students, and I can't wait to share it with you all. If you would like to benefit from the prelaunch offer, you can use the code HALFOFFSPECIAL at check out.
