Latina Loquenda!

Salvete omnes!

I'm Magister Gallagher, nerd-extraordinaire.  I've been known to travel around the county to play Magic: The Gathering or present panels on anime.  I'm a semi-professional gamer and I regularly stream on Twitch.  I'm really passionate about my hobbies and interests, and I'm often found doing crazy things like taking a day trip down to Greensboro to play Japanese rhythm games or building websites dedicated to gaming.   So...that's me.

 I'll have the pleasure of being your spoken Latin teacher this summer.   By the end of my course, you'll be able to things you'd never imagined...in Latin!  My course will be framed around games and activities that will prepare you to interact with your fellow academy members entirely in Latin!  I know that sounds intimidating, but I promise it's not nearly as daunting as it seems.

You see, you already know Latin!  You just have to convince yourself that you actually *can* speak Latin.  It's just my job to show you the way.  I start my course assuming you can speak absolutely no Latin and help you build your skills from the ground up.  If you can say anything in Latin, you're ahead of the curve!  We'll be working on building up your skills and vocabulary for specific activities, but I don't want to go into too much detail about that yet... Spoilers are no fun, after all!  I can promise you that the Spoken Latin activities we do will be some of the most meaningful and interesting events of academy...not even I know what will happen during some of them!  It's going to be fun, and I'll be bringing my unique set of skills as a gamer to the table to make you actively enjoy speaking Latin.  Try not to be too nervous, come in with an open mind, and get ready for one heck of a ride!
