Letter of the week. 🙂

Problem solved.
Over the weekend, a number of you noticed the most important page on my site, "watch anytime" was gone. Since I don't work on Sundays, I didn't notice until Monday morning. I didn't start to panic until Monday evening. Heh. Turns out, there was no need to panic at...

According to author Tony Buzan, "Learning how to learn is life's most important skill." Oh, I don't know. I think learning to duck is life's most important skill. Helps you avoid stray gunfire. Still, I understand what Mr. Buzan means. I was in the classroom for...
Some schedule changes…
For those of you in the online classes, I will not be teaching Friday and Saturday of this week. That's Friday and Saturday, October 9 and 10. Also, I just discovered this morning that I made a mistake scheduling the Second Year Latin by Robert Henle, and Third Year...
The Adventure of English
Today, I finished listening to The Adventure of English by Melvin Bragg. Though I may add to this post later, here are my initial thoughts on the book. Why I read this book: The history of the English language is one of my favorite topics. What I liked:...
Which Latin Dictionary?
I received this question: We are using Visual Latin and really enjoying it. Do you have a Latin/English dictionary that you recommend? I see several on Amazon and was wondering if you prefer one. Thank you for your time. Here is my reply: As for...
She didn’t follow my advice. And, it worked. 🙂
Last week, I received an email from a woman named Jill. When I tried to respond, the email bounced back. So, I suppose this could be a scam email. If so, it is the most encouraging scam email I have yet received. I am re-printing her email here for two reasons....
Tip of the Week, Saturday, September 26, 2020: Libby
Good morning! It’s really easy to access audio books these days. I don’t want to do the whole “when I was a kid” thing… but, here goes. When I was a kid audiobooks were only available in cassette form. I remember listening to The Hunchback of Notre Dame in...
But, not California
A few days ago, I posted my view about the future of our world. I believe it is, overall, getting better. There are fewer wars. Less crime. More freedom. And, even the diseases we fear most have a recovery rate of 99.5%. (The CDC has basically admitted that...
The world is getting better.
I received an interesting question from one of my students. I was at youth group tonight (mine meets on Monday nights) and I was thinking about something that you had said in the Harry Potter class. At least I think it was in the Harry Potter class. Maybe it was...

Destinos: a free Spanish video course
About a week ago, a reader sent me a link to an old Spanish language learning series. Destinos, filmed in the 1980's, is a Spanish language course aimed at intermediate Spanish students. Fortunately, the series is available online completely free. Unfortunately, it's...
Everything? Forever? Really?
I received this question: Hi, Dwayne, I have a question about your lifetime subscription offer. After we finish paying the 3 years, do we keep access to EVERYTHING on your site? Or is everything just for the 3 years, and after that we only have your Latin content?...
