Dear lord, the sewers and drains round here are really starting to reek at times. It’s already 32 degree at quarter to eleven. To the hammock! (I don’t have a hammock.)

I took Latin GCSE at a state school. At the time it felt esoteric BUT it has been enormously useful in learning Spanish and also the only way I learnt any grammar. This is a good idea. And there’s nothing wrong with anything that encourages intellectual rigour.

Latin, we read, will be taught in UK schools as "officials believe it will help pupils learn modern languages"

THE BEST WAY TO HELP PUPILS LEARN MODERN LANGUAGES IS TO TEACH THEM MODERN LANGUAGES !!!!! 😀😀😀
