Latin as a Living Language: from Zero to Cicero. Latin for Linguists and Polyglots
💜 Salvē quīcumque haec legis et linguam Latīnam discere cupis! 💜
Greetings to you, dear reader of these lines! Some say that I have travelled here from Ancient Rome to help bring the Latin language back to life. "But", you say, "Latin is dead and has been for 1.5 millenia!" If that's what you think, let me change your mind! =)
I offer classes for all levels and topics, including but not limited to:
◈ Latin for complete beginners taught through guided reading and discussion, with a minimum of translation. You will be using the language to learn the language from the beginning;
◈ Latin for those who have studied grammar, but still don't know the language itself;
◈ Latin for those ready to approach non-adapted literature;
◈ Latin for those who can already read, but want to learn to speak and use the language actively;
◈ Latin for those who want to understand poetry (from Virgil and Plautus right up to modern Latin poets) and quantitative metrics intuitively, in the same way as they were understood by the Romans themselves;
◈ Latin for researchers, historians and anyone working with Latin texts and primary sources or writing academic papers;
◈ Latin for linguists: I have deep theoretical and practical knowledge of the phonetics and phonology of Latin as well as Latin historical linguistics.
◈ Latin for those not ready to commit, but interested in learning the Reconstructed Classical Pronunciation. Or the traditional Italian (aka Ecclesiastical), or the Germanic-Slavic, or even the Middle French pronunciation - whatever takes your fancy :-)
◈ conversational Latin and composition practice.
💡 About me and my lessons:
I've long been part of the international community of Latin speakers, have produced videos in Latin and resources for learning it, as well co-authoring a graded poetry reader "Erictho: Tartarorum Terror" aimed at students who wish to transition away from reading adapted texts and tackle authentic poetry without the help of dictionaries or translation. Thanks to my deep interest in phonetics and phonology, I have put major emphasis on researching, modelling and teaching the sounds and rhythms of Republican Latin speech in order to make Latin poetry and prose sound the way the authors intended.
I teach Latin through Latin using the singular series "Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata" as well as various adapted and authentic texts. The goal of my lessons is simple: holistic acquisition of the language in order to allow you, the learner, to read Latin fluently, understand it at a deep level, and be able to communicate in it should the opportunity arise. Except at early stages, grammar instruction will also take place in Latin.

About Me
Hey! Привет! Salvē! Hallo! Bonjour! Ciao! Hola! Olá! Szia! Χαῖρε! 你好!I'm an aspiring polyglot from St. Petersburg, Russia. I have a linguistic education and a passion for things that have do with languages, sciences, literature, culture, philosophy and psychology. I'm good at interpreting meaning and I love understanding the world on a deep and intuitive level — both things and, more importantly, people. Other things I love include music, silence, trust, the hour before sunrise, and interacting with animals who live freely.
As a teacher, I see my role as being the student's partner. My job is to:
— generate as much additional input as possible;
— model the language for the student;
— ask comprehension and rephrasing questions so that they can practice it back, expand their vocabulary, phraseology and grammar skill;
— listen and offer help and subtle corrections, as well as
— deep-level explanations of grammar and vocabulary when appropriate.
What I don't see my role as is a talking textbook that tells the student many facts about the language they're learning, but using English to do it. My aim is to increase your implicit »skill in« the language by having you use the language with me. Any explicit »knowledge about« the language that we can fit into our lesson will preferrably be transmitted using the target language itself.
Education
Bachelor in linguistics at the Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance, 2012Бакалавр лингвистики, Санкт-Петербургский государственный университет экономики и финансов, 2012 г.
Experience / Qualifications
Over 10 years of tutoring individuals and groups in Latin, Russian and English, conducting guided literature readings, conversation groups and various other types of events.Communicating research in Latin phonology and linguistics to the wider audience.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching. I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Memorise the timetable.
2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods.
Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude.
I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.
What will not be covered in the course:
learning lists of verbs;
learning lists of nouns with articles;
learning words with their translations;
flashcards;
doing school exercises;
following the syllabus of a booklet;
imposing the English grammar on the German language.
What is particularly important to me:
to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm;
to encourage his creativity;
to befriend him with the language;
the letters and their sounds;
to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop;
to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences;
to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...;
to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary.
A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.

Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master.
