March Newsletter

Welcome to the Polyglossos February newsletter. Every month, I will talk about things happening in my life that are related to Classics learning and some advice for beginners, along with some extra snippets that didn't fit on my Instagram posts this month.

What I'm up to.

Latin Stort Stories: Myth and History for Beginning Latin Students has finished printing!

Advice for Beginners.

Keep reading! You should know enough grammar at this point to tackle some intermediate adapted Latin reading. While doing so, don't forget about learning vocabulary as well. I mentioned that vocabulary is important in the November newsletter last year (https://www.polyglossos.org/post/november-newsletter). Use the vocabulary list at the back of the popular Latin textbooks as these are oftentimes the most helpful at the beginner level.

This was initially done in Maryland and eventually the rest of the country. The suspension of habeas corpus was one of Lincoln's most controversial actions during his presidency.
