MagisterT, you mentioned that "it ain't cheap" but didn't mention any pricing. Did you find a website of his with details? Can you share any other information?
I did see that he has a summer course in June in Atlanta but with a little one on the way I will not be able to go.
Hi Jon,
Sorry it took me so long to get back on this. If you are reading Lingua Latina and Roma Aeterna, getting together with Robert would be an amazing thing. He teaches from these books. He is a terrific guy and you'd be speaking and understanding Latin much more quickly than if you just read it. His email address is
[email protected] He'd be happy to talk to you via Skype just to check out how it works. Only problem is that his English is not great. Write back if you're curious.
This conversation is rather far afield from what I had originally intended. My point is not "fluency" however regarded. The point is that
speaking is a highly effective way of learning and mastering the language. That was the point of Hans Orberg's endeavor with
Lingua Latina. The teacher should teach by
speaking to students just the way the other languages do it. I was resistant to this at first, but when I see the progress that others have made (with the perk of being able to speak Latin), I am won over in the end.
