Becoming FLUENT in the Latin language is not only possible… it’s even much faster, funnier and easier than you might be thinking!
I’ve helped more than 550 students reach fluency thanks to my unique teaching method inspired by the Natural Method, Comprehensible Input and some of the best teachers in the world.
What’s the SECRET?
From day 1, my students are trained to think in Latin. They get used to the flow of the Latin sentence, learn tons of new words almost seamlessly and are exposed to ‘real’ literary texts from the beginning.
Navigating the basics of the Latin language this way, here’s what you can expect to be able to do in the near future:
When you are a beginner, you don’t usually have the chance to taste real Latin literature. This can be frustrating, and it might even be the reason why many promising students give up (missing out on an incredible</b> <b>treasure</b> of Latin texts).<br>Just because they didn’t find a teacher, a book, or a course that really took them <b>by their hand</b>, just as every beginner student would need and deserve.
With this free course, I try to fill this gap. Thanks to my <b>3-levels</b> reading method, you’ll be able to <b>taste</b> a text that is usually considered advanced, without much effort and with your feeling that you <b>really understand</b> what you’re reading (just how much depends on your starting level, but I promise that anyone, even complete beginners, will taste at least something of the <b>deepest essence</b> of the text). So, let’s get started!
Sounds good? If you want a taste of this now, and read the beginning of Vergil’s Aeneid in the original version, sign up for the free course that’s starting on Tuesday, Sept. 13!
Vigiliae Virgilianae will show you a new approach to Latin texts, one that trains you to think in Latin and sets you up for success.
This course is completely free and suitable to any level of Latin. How can this be, you’re wondering? I promise you’ll get something away from Vigiliae Vergilianae, whatever your current level is!
If you’re a complete beginner, I’ll show you that your can dream big, and the best way to achieve your dreams.
Although I am a novice (Familia Romana, capitulum III) I enjoyed hearing the rhythm of the language and was surprised how much I understood from cognates and context.

If you’re in the beginner spectrum (upper or lower), you’ll get a first taste of the Aeneid in the original version and actually understand what you’re reading + you’ll learn how to approach any Latin text.
I have rarely seen an approach that had such immediate effects: you made me understand Seneca's letter with minimal effort and that boosted my confidence in learning more about Latin literature.
Guy Vandenbroucke
If you’re an intermediate or advanced learner, you’ll read a really famous text and enrich your Latin vocabulary + you’ll learn how to approach any Latin text in the future.
With your three tiered reading, I have understood the poem in Latin better than I ever did when I had been studying Latin for seven years straight!
Jamie C. (UK, former Classics student)
And if you’re a Latin teacher, you’ll see that it’s possible to transition to teaching Latin in an active, communicative way… and that you already have those active skills somewhere inside you!
I can tell you that your videos have been a tremendous help to me. I am understanding the Latin better than ever before, and you have revolutionized my teaching. Watching you teach material I already knew with techniques I had struggled to comprehend made the techniques come alive. Thank you. Finally my students are showing the sorts of success I have been struggling to achieve.
