Tip of the Week: Create Unlimited Emails with “+ Addressing”
A few tips ago, I told you all how to turn one email address into multiple using the “.” trick.
A reader responded with an even cooler trick I had never heard of. (Thanks, Joe!).
Most email providers let you add a “+” and extra text to your email address — and messages still go to your inbox. This is called subaddressing.
For example, if your email is thebeststudent@gmail.com, you could sign up for a site with thebeststudent+dwanethomas@gmail.com. All messages still reach you, but you can filter them into a “Dwane Thomas” folder.
Want a separate address for your child? Use something like thebeststudent+child@gmail.com.
It’s an easy way to create unique, trackable email addresses without setting up new accounts. You may find this helpful as you are creating sub-accounts on my site.
Orientation Class
If you are new to my site, or if you are stumped, I am teaching an orientation class on Wednesday, August 27 at 4 PM Central Time Zone.
I will record and post the class in case you are not able to attend. This class is not required. I will simply be showing people how to navigate the site. I will also answer any questions you may have. Anyone can attend.

Henle Latin Returns!
After several years, I’m bringing Henle Latin back to the site!
This Fall, we will work our way through First Year Latin by Robert Henle.
Starting on September 2, we’ll meet Mondays through Thursdays from 10:00 to 10:30 AM Central Time Zone.
If you can’t make it to class, no worries. You can always watch class later at your own pace.
In class, we will work our way through the chapter topics, slowly and clearly. The book can be complicated, but I’ll explain everything in plain, simple English.
Along the way, we’ll learn the complicated Latin charts and Latin endings.
All the exercises for each chapter are already available, and students are welcome to watch them anytime.
If you’ve been meaning to start—or restart—Henle Latin, this could be your moment.
Fall schedule:
Here is what is coming in a few weeks. All times are in the Central Time Zone.
- Classes Resume: September 2, 2025
- Fall Break: October 13-17
- Thanksgiving Break: November 24-28
- Christmas/New Years: December 22-January 4
Classes coming Fall 2025:
🇩🇪 German 2: Monday-Friday 7:00-7:25 am. We are continuing with Deutsch Für Ausländer, Part One. In the spring, we stopped in chapter 15.

I am still looking for something for us to read in Spanish, but we will likely start with El león, la bruja y el armario.

(Both Spanish classes are offered via Compass Classroom.). We will read Madrigal’s Magic Key to Spanish.

Not sure about joining the classes?
I am convinced you will like them, but… don’t take my word for it. See what others say: https://dwanethomas.com/testimonials/
And now… the same thing I say every week.
Subscribers sometimes use my weekly emails as reminders to unsubscribe from my site. I get that.
Just keep in mind… I offer something no one else in academia (as far as I know) offers. Stick with me for 3 uninterrupted years and you will have a lifetime subscription.
I now know this is a dumb business decision on my part, but I have heard from many of you that it is a huge help, so the offer stands.

Of course, if you are just starting out in Latin, you may be happier with Visual Latin.
If you are into etymology (the history of words), do not have time to learn Latin and Greek, and would like to watch me make a fool of myself, you might enjoy Word Up.
And, finally, years ago, I wrote a book on learning Latin. Really, the book is on the process of learning. In it, I share the tips, tricks, and secrets I use to learn languages. You can get a digital copy of the book free on my site. Just go here and plug in your name and email: https://dwanethomas.com/.
If you feel like buying me a coffee, you can buy the same digital book for a few dollars right here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh.
I hope you had a very happy Saturday!

Just so you know, I do not rent or share your name with anybody. I hate it when people do that to me, and I refuse to do it to you.

One last thing. There are affiliate links in this email. I only recommend products I’ve either personally checked out or products that come from people I know and trust. When I recommend things, I occasionally receive a sales commission. At no additional cost to you, commissions from affiliate links help me continue to offer language training at low prices.
