About Demystifying Latin and Greek: Undead Languages for Living Brains
Dr. Kirsten Jaqua and PhD candidate Anne Phillips, share a passion for teaching Latin and Greek at all levels. This collaborative podcast aims to making learning and teaching ancient languages accessible and fun for all, whether you are a teacher, a parent or a casual learner. In this podcast we explore language-learning approaches and strategies, we review and discuss curricula and resources, and bring in our combined experience to help YOU be the best teacher or learner you can be.
In this episode, we discuss a few fun activities that you can add to your classroom to spice it up. In this episode, we specifically focus on kindergarten to middle school Latin activities, such as games or memory games. We also touch on the notion of learning as a physical, embodied experience and why it can actually be helpful to incorporate physical activity into your students' learning experience.

Latin Learning Through the Ages - Latin Learning Today
In this episode, we do a brief survey of education starting with the Greeks and their ideals (which in turn influenced the Romans and their successors). We are primarily interested here in examining the motivations behind ancient educational philosophy and how that came down through the centuries. In the second half of the episode, we talk about what this means for us now and how it can influence our own educational choices, particularly when it comes to introducing Latin into our education or our kids' educations.
