No problem. I record every class I teach, and I only take them down if I am updating them.

Third Year Latin • 6:30-6:55 am CST Mondays – Fridays Join me as we work our way through Third Year Latin by Robert Henle. I do my best to make the boring Henle series endurable.

If you don’t want to wait around, and if you really want to learn Latin, and if you don’t want to be bored out of your mind, do yourself a favor. Switch to Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg.

Can’t make it to a live class? No worries.
I record every class I teach, and I only take them down if I am updating them. I have quite a few students who use the previous classes only. In fact, many prefer this as they can move at their own rate. Students are always welcome to contact me if they have any questions.
