Join Idler Academy Head of Latin Susanna Hislop for an introduction to the joys of the Latin language. In only eight weeks, you will learn all the essentials of Latin grammar, and be able to translate, as well as to write – and even speak – in Latin. Learning Latin revolutionises your understanding of any language, exercises your brain better than Sudoku, and is good for your soul too.
