Living an Ancient Language (Patreon)
Content
Many of you follow Luke Ranieri's excellent channels polýMATHY (about a range of subjects in language and science) and ScorpioMartianus (for learning Latin and Greek) already, and personally I've long admired the incredible good cheer and skillful pedagogy he brings to everything he does. In this video, which I'm posting early on Vimeo for Patreon to enjoy, he and I had a long discussion on what I think is one of his signature causes: learning ancient languages in the same way one would approach a living language.
I hope you get as much out of this conversation as I did, and it's had me thinking hard about the right way to freshen up the teaching of Old Norse as I begin to do serious spadework on my upcoming Old Norse instructional book for Hackett.
There's also another, very wide-ranging, conversation between Luke Ranieri and me on his channel now.
For now, thanking you for your kindness and support, and wishing you all the best,
Jackson Crawford
P.S. My Patreon messages don't work. I don't get notifications for them, and there's nothing on my home page to show me when there is or isn't a message. I can't even always see them when I check for them manually, and you won't see it if I reply! The best ways to get in touch are: a) just to comment on posts like this, b) to post in the Community page, or c) to email my assistant Stella at [admin AT JacksonWCrawford.com]--remember the 'W' between my first and last names in that domain name.
