Latin and Greek Scholarships

I am delighted to pass on the amazing offer of the Vivarium Novum academy, of a large number of scholarships for their extraordinary course: total immersion in Latin or Greek. Teaching in the target language: why not? They've been doing this for a number of years, so you won't be a guinea pig. Have a look at the Vivarium Novum website for all the things they do.

If you need a shorter course, come on the LMS Latin Course this Summer, 22-27 July 2013, Pantasaph, North Wales.
