Teaching Methods

Reginald Foster's teaching methods were revolutionary in reviving the Latin language. He believed that if every commoner in ancient Rome could speak Latin, so could anyone today. His summer Latin programs were intensive, meeting seven days a week for eight hours a day, and he never charged a fee 1.

Learning Latin for centuries was a very mechanical and dry process.

--- Gary Arndt

Reginald's approach was anything but mechanical, as he immersed students in the language through real-world applications and historical context 2.

   

Latin Revival

The resurgence of interest in Latin, known as the Living Latin movement, can be largely attributed to Reginald Foster's influence. His belief in Latin as a tool for time travel inspired a global community to embrace the language in new ways. Today, Latin is taught through YouTube channels, college courses, and even dubbed movies, making it accessible to a wider audience 2.

Almost every Latin instructor in the world today can either directly or indirectly link themselves to Reginald Foster.

--- Gary Arndt

This movement has ensured that Latin, while not widely spoken, remains a vibrant and living language 2.
