The goal is for students to develop a love of learning Latin and Roman culture.
🤩 I have been teaching Latin for over 10 years to homeschoolers around the world! 🤩 I believe Latin enriches lives and makes learning languages more accessible to learners of all ages. 🤩 I have spent the last year fully developing this course by traveling all over Britain, visiting Roman sites, and filming original footage specifically for this course. 🤩 In May of 2024 I will participate in a special 2 week long dig at Vindolanda, uncovering the secrets that were left behind by the Ancient Romans and filming more special and amazing footage for this class!
