Based on the “sampling” of Latin instruction visible to you through this blog site and determined by your own personal Latin academic goals and needs, I am willing also to offer my services as a Latin instructor—via online “live, interactive” and/or written “chat” sessions, email communications, or any other suitable means. To that end, and in conjunction with this site and other readily available printed or online resources, I am preparing to establish an electronic distance-learning platform for a repeating online “class” and determine a reasonable fee for such a service.
I would, however, like to poll the potential recipients of such a course to determine viable interest for such an endeavor. It could be that you’re planning on pursing a secondary or higher educational tract that requires Latin, or possibly you’re involved in classical Christian education or are a home schooler or where Latin is not readily available for you. Maybe you just value the benefit Latin to you in whatever culture you currently are or soon expect to be.
The POLL

** IMPORTANT NOTE: With interest continuing to grow, if you’re seriously interested in participating in some sort of formal online class, please communicate with me personally via the “Comments” area below, which will automatically generate a private, personal email to me as moderator of this site.

I am interested in distance learning for Henle Latin 1, mostly the second half of the book.

I am interested in an online Latin course for my rising 9th grade son who is homeschooled.
Thanks for any additional info.

Dear Mr. Wermuth,
Your website is such a great source of information for those of us who are trying to tackle and understand Latin. I am a homeschool coop coordinator who has established a once-a-week mentoring program for homeschooled children. We meet every Thursday to learn facts (Memory Works: Catechism, History, Latin, Science, Civics, etc), practice skills (Oral presentations, art, music), and discuss ideas (Socratic discussions). I would like to ask you how you would encapsulate Latin (if possible) in a 3-year, 28-day cycle. This year we taught “cycle 1″. Our theme was ancient history, the early church and the Bible. Hence, for Latin we covered some latin prayers, famous latin quotes (such as those derived from Julius Caesar), and verb conjugations (just a sample with an emphasis in memorizing the endings). Cycle 2 will be about medieval times, the Creed, and the Sacraments. Cycle 3 will focus on Renaissance to Modern times, Moral and Prayer life. I was considering practicing more prayers each year and focusing on another aspect of Latin teaching such as noun declensions and root words.
Admittedly, I am certainly not an expert in Latin so I defer to those who are. How would you suggest I break down the memorization and understanding of latin in three cycles which the students will be exposed to several times in order to be ready for the full study of Latin in their High School years?
I appreciate any help you can give me at this time.
God bless,
Rosario
