There’s a lot of disagreement and discussion about this point, and after many years of teaching our position is that the student should begin with whatever language they want to study first. There’s no reason to take Greek before Latin, or vice versa. And, throughout the past, scholars have studied both languages at the same time. Greek and Latin are close sister languages, and mutually reinforcing. You will notice in Dr. Noe’s Greek instruction much reference to Latin, and much reference to Greek and his Latin courses. The best approach is take what you like and build slowly

No. The key to learning something is to have the right kind of instruction, the right disposition, and to move at the right pace.. Our courses offer all three of these elements, giving you a full year of guided instruction to complete Unit I or Unit II of LLPSI, or Modules I-IV of Moss.

First, you get a well-designed course that has been tried by hundreds of students and is based upon Dr. Noe’s extensive experience as a student and teacher of Greek and Latin for more than 30 years. Second, you get direct interaction with Dr. Noe via email, weekly Zoom conference, and text and phone if so desired. Unlike some of our competitors, each of our courses is taught by someone with a PhD in the discipline. So there’s really no reason not to succeed with this kind of help.

Our courses are designed for everyone from about the age of 10 up to the century mark. Many people who don’t have experience studying Greek and Latin are too quick to try to divide language study into levels and such. This is counterproductive, because language learning, like music or athletics, is an inherently cumulative activity. Our Moss Greek courses have been successfully completed by children as young as 12, and adults as old as 75. The majority of our students in the LLPSI Latin courses are teachers at Classical, Christian, Catholic, and charter schools. There are also many middle school and high school kids who sign up, and retirees.

No. While Dr. Noe does not conceal his Christian convictions, in his classes he cultivates charity and good citizenship, both toward the students and among them. Students who take our courses are from all religious backgrounds and sometimes no religious background.

For Latin, he uses the pronuntiatus restitutus, also known as the Classical pronunciation. Students are not required to use this system in his courses and are free to employ the ecclesiastical or Italianate method. As for Greek, he uses the restored pronunciation there as well, basically Erasmian. Those who want to use the pronunciation of modern Greek are encouraged to do so. His approach is that this discussion is a tempest in a teapot. So long as one is consistent, it makes little difference which pronunciation system is chosen. The goal of his courses is to learn, use, and enjoy the languages, not to argue over whose method is best.

Yes, anyone who successfully finishes a course receives 10% off enrollment in their next course. And, we run multiple sales throughout the year.
