I am a longtime student of Latin, with a B.A. in Latin from Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. I am currently teaching Latin classes online using Collins' "Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin," Orberg's "Lingua Latina," and Traupman's "Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency."
I have also studied a certain amount of Greek, but I haven't gotten much past the introductory textbooks. I have used Hansen and Quinn's "Greek: An Intensive Course" and Pharr's "Homeric Greek." I haven't spent much time on Greek for several years, but I am looking now to pick it up again.

I can only imagine that teaching a foreign language online presents a challenge. How do you work in Oral Proficiency as well?

Smythe,
I teach my classes with live audio and video, so they are very similar to a class in a normal classroom. The only difference, really, is that I can't see the students. I feel that it is necessary to have live audio interaction with a teacher if one is learning a language, and I don't believe Latin (or Greek) should be an exception. Conversation in Latin is a large part of my classes.
Thanks for your interest.
