Horses. Hold’em.
I received this email: Hi, we love Word Up! My daughter said she had seen a Word Up volume 2, but I can't seem to find it. Please let me know where we can purchase a DVD of a sequel. Thank you!! Here is my reply: It’s coming! But, you guys have to be patient. 🙂 ...
Where’d all the live classes go?
I am getting lots of questions about the live classes. Two things happened. Everyone went online due to Covid-19, and now my daytime classes barely work. And, my allergies took me down. The allergies happen every April/May, so I was planning to close my classes...

This week, I received a happy email: *Fan mail* I am a CC Director working through our first year of Henle, and I've been so grateful for your Watch Anytime options. I am *enjoying* learning Latin myself, and for all that we love/hate about Henle, I'm grateful...
SPQR
Last week, I received this note from a student: I have found an app that might be of particular interest to you and the rest of your students. It is called SPQR Latin Dictionary and Reader by Paul Hudson. It includes Classical Latin works and authors such as The...
Snort.
Oh my word. So funny... and so true: https://babylonbee.com/news/teachers-warn-parents-arent-properly-equipped-to-indoctrinate-children Don't forget. If you are stuck at home, and have decided to use the time to learn Latin, Visual Latin is on sale this week over...
Latin this week… and a sale over at Compass Classroom.
Well. Things sure are weird right now. But, you already knew that. I hope you all are well out there. For the moment, my family and I are okay. No one is sick. Like you, we are working hard to stay that way. I suppose if you are bored, now is a good time to...

How to use the Henle 2 class
I received an inquiry yesterday about the Second Year Latin by Robert Henle class. This video will show you how the class works. Currently, we are working through the exercises early in the morning. We are in exercise 103 in chapter 17. On Tuesdays, we are still...
To be blunt…
I am going to get right to the point. Because some of you need it. In his Letters to Children, C. S. Lewis says the following: "To be able to read Latin easily (i.e. without having to translate it mentally as you go along) is an enormous advantage later on. Practice...

This note made me happy today. My son just came out of his room and told me how much fun he was having doing his Latin translations. He’s not what I would consider a language-gifted kid. But your Visual Latin has made it easy for him. Thank you!Tina If you are not...
I’m back… I hope.
I haven't blogged in the longest time. There are lots of reasons. I am not going to get into them. I will say that Henle Latin is one of the big reasons. I teach it because I know it helps so many of my students. But, I am not a big fan. It drains me...
Losing my voice
Guys, I know I haven't posted here in forever. Just trying to get in touch with all of my students. Just tried to teach my first class of the morning and my voice didn't make it. Not my month, as it turns out. It's been a rough one. I am cancelling all early...
God Bless America?
On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States legalized abortion. Matt Drudge summed up the attitude of America quite well: “There will be over 3,500 killed in USA today from abortion. No flags lowered, no presidents crying. No media hyperventilating....
Where we are in the books these days (January 17, 2020)
Well... Happy New Year, everyone! I know I haven't posted at all in 2020. I haven't because... reasons. How do I put this? I just didn't start the new year with the motivation I usually have at the beginning of the year. Okay. To the point. Here is where we are in...
We’ve been fooled!
I have subscribed to Robert Kiyosaki's email list for years. I am a big fan of the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In fact, there is a standing offer in my house. If my kids read the book and talk to me about it, I will give them $100. This morning, while catching up on...
