    New Latin Curriculum for the Youngest Scholars!
    2026/07/07
    In this episode, Renee and Karen talk with Buck Holler about his new curriculum, Hodie Latine: A Daily Liturgy for the Active Latin Learner. Written for children in the pre-grammar stage, it offers a recitation, a song, a game, all in Latin, along with illustrations for ease in understanding. It is not a textbook, but a "little book of delights meant to invite students into the joys of learning Latin." Buck also describes another project he is currently working on: the retelling of familiar stories in Latin. Stay tuned for more on that!
