Summary
<p>My guest today is someone who I believe, without exaggeration, will help transform the way people learn ancient languages for years to come. While our institutional academies crumble, a new academy is quietly emerging in independent organizations like the Ancient Language Institute, and Colin Gorrie is one of its leading figures. His aspiration is to "bring linguistics out of the ivory tower," which he's done magnificently with his new book <em>Osweald Bera</em>, now available for pre-order. We talk about Tolkien, Beowulf, and the magic of learning ancient languages.</p> <p>Pre-order <em>Osweald Bera</em>: <a href="https://ancientlanguage.com/vergil-press/osweald-bera/">https://ancientlanguage.com/vergil-press/osweald-bera/</a></p> <p>Register for Spring courses at The Ancient Language Institute <a href="https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/">https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/</a></p> <p>Order <em>Light of the Mind, Light of the World</em> (and rate it five stars): <a href="https://a.co/d/2QccOfM">https://a.co/d/2QccOfM</a></p>
