If you’re trying to practice a new language, you can read Wikipedia articles in your target language. You’ll pick up relevant, real-world vocabulary across all kinds of topics.
Another bonus: Wiki articles are generally clear and well-structured. It’s a great way to get a feel for grammar and sentence construction.
When you land on an article, just go up to the top right hand corner and look for “languages”. In Latin class, my students and I have been reading about the Roman Forum.
Here, for example, is the article we read… in French: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_Romain_(Rome)
This a free and easy way to practice your target language.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier.
If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.
If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg. If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
I teach other languages on my site, too. The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
