as posted by the channel

Episode 4 of the Common Latin Book Club, recorded July 8, 2026. Leigh Bortins returns to join hosts Jennifer Courtney, Timothy Knotts (Director of Challenge Development, Classical Conversations), and Kathy Donegia (Curriculum Developer and Author, Common Latin Curriculum) for Task 3 of the six Common Latin tasks: Memorize Vocabulary.

The session covers why vocabulary is foundational to Latin study, how to make proper flashcards for nouns, verbs, and adjectives, a live parent-student flashcard demonstration, strategies for managing a growing card collection, and ideas for flashcard games the whole family can enjoy. The group also applies vocabulary from the flashcards directly to John 3:16, identifying and parsing words in context.

Next session: Task 4, Practice the Forms.
