Every now and then I get a question about Visual Latin Replacement DVD's. Usually, I send people over to Compass Classroom. But, here, in this post, I am finally going to provide the link.  Sometimes it takes me a while to spot the very obvious solution. So, if you...

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...

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?...

Guys, I messed up. I forgot that I will not be able to teach French and Exercitia Latina (the exercise book for Lingua Latina) on Wednesday mornings.  I am teaching a class in Nashville on Wednesdays and I have to leave home right after the morning Spanish class. We...
