What If Learning Latin Could Actually Be Fun? (Spoiler: It Is!)
What if learning Latin could actually be… fun? Join Lisa Bailey and Tobin Duby as they take you on a delightful journey through the world of Parent Practicum and Latin—two things that might sound intimidating but are actually gateways to lifelong learning for your entire family. Tobin shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from filming practicums across the country (including the tale of a toddler handing him her yogurt trash), while Lisa opens up about her own “hillbilly belt” moment that brought down the house. But beyond the laughter, discover why practicum is the perfect summer destination for homeschool families seeking community, encouragement, and practical tools. Then dive into Latin—not as a dusty academic subject, but as a mind-expanding adventure that helps children (and parents!) think more clearly, compose better sentences, and even understand Scripture in new ways. From “pater noster” rhyming when “our father” doesn’t, to understanding why St. Paul’s sentences are so deliciously complex, you’ll discover why Latin is relevant for families with kids of all ages. Whether you’re brand new to homeschooling or a seasoned veteran, this conversation will inspire you to mark your calendar for this summer’s Latin-focused Parent Practicum. Because the best learning happens in community—and it’s way more fun than you think!
