I received this question: Hi! I am CC tutor and I have completed 1-26 in Henle I four times. I will be doing Henle 3 this fall with an older group. Do you recommend I finish Henle I on my own this summer and get as much of Henle 2 done as possible, or jump into...

I received this question: I am a parent who actually wants to learn Latin alongside their child. The academic year was too busy for me to commit the time I wanted to commit, so I fell behind, but have pledged to work diligently over the summer break….which...

Last Saturday, I suggested you start using Evernote. It’s free. It’s powerful. And, it looks like it is going to be around for awhile. As we grow older, our memories fail us. Evernote keeps us looking brilliant. Here’s the problem with Evernote....

I received this question from one of my students: I was wondering if there were any books you would recommend which you or your family members may have read in preparation to travel and live in a different country. Hope you are enjoying Greece so far! I am loving your...

This is going to get weird. Hang in there with me. Hopefully, it will all make sense. I have been studying Latin for 20 years. I still get the endings wrong. It’s ridiculous. Here is part of the problem… and, I think it’s a big part of the...

I received this comment: Hi Dwane, I really apologize in advance for this question. I am confused about options regarding Latin. It seems like I am missing the page that explains it on your website. I would like to do one of two things and I don’t know which....

I turn 44 this month. I have heard that memory loss really kicks in around age 45. Ironically, I can not remember where I read this. Perhaps I am getting a head start on memory loss. Writing every day but Sunday was one of my main goals this year. I fell off the...

It is slowly dawning on me that I have a new job. My wife and I continue to spend a lot of time at the hospital. She spends more time there than I. Before my son’s accident my schedule looked something like this: 5 a.m. to noon. Study Greek, study Latin, blog,...

Since my son’s accident, I canceled my classes. However, life is slowly getting back to normal. And, I have to get back to work. With that in mind, online classes resume today. I’m still a bit tired, and things are still a bit busy around here, but,...

So… some time ago I sent out an email entitled, “Lead from the front.” You may have noticed that the email had nothing to do with the title. That’s because it didn’t. I was working on another email when my son’s vehicle flipped six...

For the first time in two weeks, life is beginning to look normal again. Just over two weeks ago, my son nearly lost his life in a car accident. He survived, but just barely. A local newspaper posted a picture of our van here:. After almost two weeks in the Intensive...

For the past 5 or 6 years, and possibly more, I have been collecting student work. Each day, as students send answers to assignments, I check their work and then copy their work into a file. I have also collected my responses to the students, and I have collected my...

As many of you know, I’ve been stuck behind my computer since arriving in Athens, Greece. This has, naturally, been a source of frustration to me. Mostly, I’ve been stuck here grading papers and assignments. A few weeks ago, I was at a conference in San...

Yesterday, I posted on Facebook and on my blog. I commented on the fact that it takes me so very long to grade. At the moment, I have suspended all new grading for the coming year. I am simply unable to keep up. Several people wanted to know why. “Why does...

I received this comment: Please add me to the waiting list. I think it would be worth triple the money (although I’m not saying j could pay that. Lol). I can imagine it takes forever to grade. Here is my reply: Got it! You are on the list. Still working on a...
