Living Latin through Comprehensible Input (Contemporary and Medieval Latin)

From 37 C$ /h

You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker!
For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level:
Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta"
"Corderiī Colloquia"
Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria"
John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency
I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it)
We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

About Me

I am a polymath, I am majoring in chemistry but I am also interested in theoretical physics, sustainable development, permaculture & regenerative agriculture, music, video games as narratives, and linguistics.
I am also a polyglot, I have studied over 30 languages, the ones that I am most comfortable speaking are English, German, French, Polish, Danish and Latin.
I believe that anyone is capable of learning vast amounts of information, given the right approach. I strive to find the right approach to my students and explain abstract ideas in terms that anyone can understand.
I like to combine knowledge from different, seemingly disparate fields and find analogies and parallels between them, and I hope to show my students the beauty of these parallels that tie together so many different areas of learning.

I studied Latin for 6 years (high school and university) and read the works of (among others) :
-Ovidius
-Virgil
-Horace
-Civero
-Catullus

I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to sit an exam, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I can prepare you for exams at school / university.
- I can help you with assignments / HW.
- I can help you with translations / commentaries / grammar / syntax.

Associate professor, Doctor of Letters (Paris IV Sorbonne), teaches Latin at all levels.

This course is aimed at anyone wishing to learn or relearn the Latin language, progressively access literature, history, philosophy, ancient sciences, and approach Latin culture. It is also intended for any pupil or student wishing for support in this subject.
Learning the Latin language presupposes a few solid bases of French grammar that we review of course if necessary, before installing Latin grammatical knowledge.
Learning Latin develops the rigor and sense of translation.

May 2026: In this Latin course, I offer "Common Entrance at 13+" training (including scholarship papers) for those students who have studied Latin for one or two years, and would like to revise, do translations and read from fun books such as Minimus or So you really want to learn Latin. Plenty of cultural stories and mythology in the mix, besides battles and august men. A basic understanding of grammar (or willingness to learn) expected. Ideally, students ought to be doing Latin at school and preferably have a second language (a Romance language ideal for securing a higher grade).

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Latin Tutoring — Specializing in Ecclesiastical Latin

Would you like to learn Latin in a way that helps you read and understand Latin texts?

I offer personalized Latin lessons for beginners and continuing students, with a particular focus on Ecclesiastical Latin and the Latin of the Christian tradition.

Whether you are starting Latin from scratch, working through a particular textbook, studying Latin for personal enrichment, or hoping to read Scripture, prayers, liturgical texts, and other works of the Christian tradition in the original Latin, lessons can be adapted to your level and goals.

What we can work on:

* Latin grammar and syntax, explained clearly and systematically
* Vocabulary and word formation
* Translation and reading comprehension
* Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation and reading aloud
* Parsing and understanding individual words and sentences
* Reading the Latin of the Vulgate
* Liturgical and devotional Latin
* Reading authentic Latin texts
* Developing confidence and fluency in reading Latin

I place particular emphasis on understanding how Latin sentences are constructed. We will work carefully with cases, conjugations, vocabulary, syntax, and the relationships between words, helping you develop a strong foundation for reading and translating Latin independently.

My primary interest and specialization is Ecclesiastical Latin, including its traditional pronunciation and the rich tradition of Latin Christian texts. I can also assist students studying Classical Latin, depending on their needs and level.

Lessons are relaxed, patient, and tailored to the individual student. No previous knowledge of Latin is required.

If you have a particular book, text, or course you are currently studying, you are very welcome to bring it to the lesson.

I studied Latin for 71⁄2 years in school myself, so I know exactly where the typical stumbling blocks are: declensions, conjugations, sentence structure, and translating complex texts. Combined with my long experience as a language teacher (German, French), I bring structured, patient teaching methods that make even a "dead" language like Latin approachable and clear.

My Latin lessons are especially suited for:

Students needing help with homework, grammar, or text translation
Exam and test preparation
Anyone brushing up on rusty Latin skills

I work in a structured way, break grammar down into clear steps, and adjust the pace to your level.

Ich habe selbst 71⁄2 Jahre lang Latein in der Schule gelernt und kenne daher genau die typischen Stolpersteine: Deklinationen, Konjugationen, Satzbau und das Übersetzen komplexer Texte. Mit meiner langjährigen Erfahrung als Sprachlehrer (Deutsch, Französisch) bringe ich zusätzlich strukturierte, geduldige Lehrmethoden mit, die auch bei einer "toten" Sprache wie Latein den Stoff greifbar und verständlich machen.

Meine Latein-Lektionen eignen sich besonders für:

Schüler/-innen, die Nachhilfe bei Hausaufgaben, Grammatik oder Textübersetzung brauchen
Prüfungsvorbereitung für Schularbeiten und Klassenarbeiten
Wiedereinsteiger, die ihre Lateinkenntnisse auffrischen möchten

Ich arbeite strukturiert, erkläre Grammatik in klaren, nachvollziehbaren Schritten und passe das Tempo an dein individuelles Niveau an.

Offro lezioni personalizzate di latino e greco antico rivolte a studenti delle scuole superiori, universitari e adulti. Le lezioni possono concentrarsi sul recupero delle lacune, sulla grammatica, sulla sintassi, sulla traduzione e sulla preparazione di verifiche, interrogazioni, esami di maturità ed esami universitari.
Il mio metodo è chiaro, graduale e adattato alle esigenze di ogni studente. Partiamo dalle difficoltà specifiche e lavoriamo attraverso spiegazioni semplici, esempi ed esercizi mirati. L’obiettivo è comprendere meglio i testi, acquisire un metodo di traduzione efficace e diventare progressivamente autonomi nello studio.

Latin and Greek are beautiful but difficult languages to learn. Many students lose heart and motivation after a few bad grades. Together, we will look at where your stumbling blocks lie, and from there, I will help you move forward. I align as much as possible with your schoolwork. I also provide you with tools and strategies to learn (vocabulary) and translate better. This way, you strengthen the foundation, your results improve, and you go to class with more enjoyment and self-confidence again.
I also provide Latin and Greek exam training, including interim training for school exams.

I offer individual Latin lessons for secondary school and Gymnasium students as well as adults who are preparing for a Latin examination.

Lessons are adapted to the learner’s current level, school materials and specific examination requirements. The focus can include:

• Latin grammar and morphology
• Verb forms, participles, gerund and gerundive
• Pronouns and case functions
• Syntax and sentence analysis
• Translation strategies
• Vocabulary and efficient use of dictionaries
• Reading and interpretation of original Latin texts
• Preparation for school tests and final examinations
• Individual preparation for Latin examinations at university or in adult education

For students, I can work directly with their school textbook, worksheets and current reading material. For examination preparation, we can systematically identify gaps in grammar and develop an individual study plan.

My academic background includes Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Vienna as well as completed coursework in Classical Philology (Latin). This academic background, together with my teaching experience, allows me to explain Latin grammar systematically and to make connections with German and the Romance languages.

I provide structured explanations, individual exercises and additional digital learning materials where useful.

Lessons are available online and in person in Liechtenstein and selected locations in eastern Switzerland.
