Why am I Being Charged During the Summer?

by | Aug 1, 2025 | Online Classes

 

When you join, my site will charge you $25 per month. 

Naturally, this means you will be charged during June, July, and August.  I do not always teach live classes during those months (though I often do). 

During the summer months, you will still have access to the classes on my site, the tests, the forums, etc.   

When you break it down, everyone charges during the summer.   Most other providers simply charge it all up front. 

I have done the research for you.  Most online Latin providers are going to charge you quite a bit more.  Also, pay close attention to how long the process takes. 

Using Visual Latin, you could learn Latin in two years.  Using Lingua Latina, you could learn Latin in two years.   

Most programs stretch the process out over three to seven years and most charge from $600 to $800 per year, per student. 

Because my site charges monthly, you may feel you are paying during the summer for something you are not using. 

Look at the costs of other programs.  You are paying for those programs through the summer, too.  You are simply paying up front.

And, one last thing.  Many of my students end up falling in love with the classes.  They stick around for three, or more years.  But, instead of charging, payments on my site stop automatically after three years. 

If you stick around for three years, the payments end.  You, and your family will have a lifetime subscription. 

So, yes.  You are getting charged during the summer.  But, you may decide it’s worth it.

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/
