Alert: Lots of problems in the live classes today.

Guys, I don’t know what has happened, but today it seems the audio is not working in any of my live classes.  I will continue to work on the problem and will re-schedule any classes that are interrupted.  I am sorry, everyone.  This is pretty rare, but it does...

Class from this morning…

Word Up: Live! is back.  Here is the class from this morning.  We are going to be working our way through the Lingua Latina vocabulary.  The class, which meets a 5 AM central time zone, is free to all.  However, the old classes are only available to...

Word Up: Live! is back…

Years ago, my students and I created a master vocabulary document for Lingua Latina. My old site wouldn’t allow me to give it away for free. My new site does. Sooo… here you are: *Vocabulary for Lingua Latina You may also like to know that I will be going...

Live Q&A Tonight!

Visual Latin? Online classes? Henle Latin? Lingua Latina? Confused? From now until May, I will be hosting live Q&A webinars on Monday nights… starting tonight.  No charge. Here is the...

Yes

I haven’t sent an email out on a Saturday in quite some time. The truth is, January and February were pretty dark days.  I sank rather low and just didn’t feel like I had much to offer.  So, I didn’t offer much. But, things are improving.  And, I am...

My son is 12. Can he join the Lingua Latina class?

I received this email.  I tried to respond, but it bounced back.  So… I am responding here: Hello — My son will be 12 1/2 at the start of the next school year.  He (in fifth grade) took a class which covered the first six capitulums of your book, Lingua...

Yikes.

As I have said many times, I am not anti-college.  And, I am by no means anti-education.  I believe you should get as educated as you possibly can.  I believe you should never stop learning. But… I am anti-debt. I subscribe to multiple online newsletters.  This...

Latin and Harry Potter

Some of you know that I am a big Harry Potter fan.  Yes, yes.  I know the objections.  Put your hands down. I taught a short series of classes on the books.  The classes explain why I like the books so much.  The series is available to subscribers on my site. Most...

Hmmm…

Someone just alerted me.  Another problem on my site.  That’s okay.  There are many.  We will be working to repair them all over the next few weeks. Anyway, when you try to join my list (maybe you wanted my book) you may end up on an old page that says,...

Schedule 2018 – 2019 (RED)

Now that the new site is up and running, I can get back to work. So, back to work. People have started asking about next year’s schedule. So, here goes. First, a short story.  I once worked for a school that released upcoming schedules in three stages.  Red. ...

Go.

Okay…. thanks for being patient.  Better brains than mine figured it all out.   Everything seems to be working now.   If you have any trouble getting into previous classes, let me know. And, if you don’t encounter problems… happy learning! –...

Now we’ve got problems…

In one of her songs, Taylor Swift points out that she and a boyfriend don’t get along anymore. “Baby, now we’ve got problems.  And, I don’t think we can solve them.” I launched a new site yesterday.  And, now I’ve got problems.  I...

Soooo…

Well… the new site is up and I love the way it looks!  I hope you do as well. Unfortunately, there are some problems.  Some of the old classes will not play.  We are trying to figure this out.  If you are in a rush to learn Latin, hang in there.  ...

New website tomorrow… I hope.

You can tell I built my website alone.  You can also tell that I am a Latin teacher, not a website designer. Fortunately, I have a friend who knows how to design websites… and who also understands design. For the past few weeks, he has been re-designing my...

The silence

My site is about to change drastically.  Hopefully… Thursday. In the meantime, the designer is doing all he can to make the transition a smooth transition. During this time, we are doing our best to keep up with correspondence.  As always, it may be some time...

I have to cancel some classes.

I hate canceling classes.  Hate.  Hate.  Hate.  Double hate.  Loathe entirely. That said, I have to cancel two classes this Thursday.  Appointment. So… Italian and Greek.  Both classes are canceled. Unless… you want to get up early.  If enough of you are...

Business Math?

I received this email: This is not a latin question. We respect your points of view about college and being debt free. My son is very smart and is college material. However, wants to build a business and not go to college. This past summer he began a car wash...

Good luck learning English.

My mom recently sent this to me.  Good luck learning English.  I love our language… but, what a linguistic train wreck it is. Dearest creature in creation Studying English pronunciation,    I will teach you in my verse    Sounds...

Rise and shine.

I received this note from someone in the (now defunct) Word Up Live class. I have been out of town on a business trip this week on Pacific time. I can get up at 4 am, but 3 am was asking too much with a full day’s work following….so I did not join this week.  I will...

Two new “classes”.

Sometimes there just isn’t enough time in class to cover it all. This has been a major problem with Second Year Latin by Robert Henle.  There just isn’t always enough time for the readings he assigns. So, on Monday’s (until May) we are going to...
