It’s that time of year! Things are winding down for the holiday season, classes are about to wrap up, and I’m looking ahead to 2026.

I’m always open to suggestions of what to run. I have a few ideas for later in the year already. Here is what I’ll be offering in my first term, starting in the last third of January:

Greek 101: The first of my four foundational units working through the textbook Athenaze, this course meets for 1.5hrs each week, and covers chapters 1-8.

Greek 103: The third of my four foundational units working through the textbook Athenaze, this course meets for 1.5hrs each week, and covers chapters 17-24 (from Book 2).

Greek 227: Luke’s Gospel. In this course we’ll read extensively from Luke’s Gospel in Greek, with discussion and explanation of the text in Greek (and some English where required)

Greek 241b: Herodotus Book 7 (Continued): This course follows on from an earlier unit in Herodotus, but you’re welcome to join us as we read on. We’ll be starting around 10.θ.

Greek 273: Intro to Conversational Greek for post-beginners: I’m very pleased to offer this course again, which I haven’t run in some time. It’s designed for those with a fair amount of Greek, especially in a traditional mode. We’ll use a number of techniques including story-asking, TPRS, picture talk, movie talk, and so on, to get us talking in Greek. Perfect if you ‘know’ Greek but have never spoken it.

Latin 101: I’m also excited to start a new cohort of introductory Latin. This first class will work through Hans Ørberg’s Familia Romana (Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata) chapters 1-10

Latin 243: The Moralized Ovid: reading through the 14th collection of allegorical and Christianised takes on Ovid! A more advanced class conducted almost entirely in Latin.
