Methods are flexible depending on your level, goals, and preferences. For example, we can - use the traditional grammar-translation method - read something in Greek or Latin that you're interested in together - practice having a conversation in Greek or Latin - go over questions that came up during a course you're taking. All questions are good questions! Some quotations from my evaluations when I taught Latin and Greek as a grad student: "Silvio was a delight to work with. His mastery of [Greek] is impressive, and his joy at sharing his enthusiasm for it is inspiring." "Silvio is the most patient human being I have ever met. . . . He is very understanding in how difficult Latin can be and never talks down to us like we're stupid." "I have nothing bad to say about this instructor . . . he has made learning a completely new language (not to mention a dead language) engaging and easy."

Los métodos dependerán de su nivel, sus metas, y sus preferencias. Por ejemplo, podemos hacer - práctica conversacional - lectura de algo en inglés sobre un tema que le interesa - lecciones tradicionales - resolución de dudas surgidas en un curso No creo que la gramática formal sea absolutamente necesario para aprender un idioma, pero sí tengo una formación en eso, así que si tiene preguntas de gramática, estoy preparado. Sé que todos los idiomas son difíciles para aprender, y el inglés es algo más difícil de la cuenta. ¡Toda pregunta es pregunta legítima!

Algunas citas de mis evaluaciones de cuando enseñaba latín y griego como estudiante de posgrado: "Fue una maravilla trabajar con Silvio. Su dominio [del griego] es impresionante, y su alegría de compartir su entusiasmo por ello da inspiración." "Silvio es el ser humano más paciente con que me haya encontrado . . . Es muy comprensivo con lo difícil que puede ser el latín y nunca nos habla como si fuéramos unos tontos." "No tengo nada malo para decir de este instructor . . . él ha conseguido que el aprendizaje de un idioma completamente nuevo (ni mencionar que muerto) sea atractivo y fácil."
