Spoken Latin and Teaching Methods

15/06/2016 15:52

So I have had rather a lot of fun watching some of the marvelous lectures by Professor Miraglia. His spoken Latin, whilst not to everyone's taste, is one of the most fluent and passionate I have ever heard. If you have the chance, do try and track some of his work down.

Word to those expecting polished wonderful edited prose.

I use this site to throw words at a screen and sometimes some wonderful people tell me what they think of them, please join in.

Hello

For the more formal here is a link to some of my work -newcastle.academia.edu/SallyRobinson

I have a couple of degrees in Classics and yet cannot tell you about the varying differences in the armour of a Roman soldier or why Julius Caesar was such a shit sometimes.

I love decent wine, bad women and good friends.

This is me, my website and my thoughts.

Think on.

This website has been made for my own happiness

Apologies to those it bores, to those who found this site because you are already bored, dig in, you might find you were not as bored as you first thought.
