Who killed Latin? Why should we bother to learn Latin and Ancient Greek, instead of just reading the great works in translation? Why does translation fail us? In this interview, I speak with Tim Griffith, who is a Senior Fellow of Classical Languages at New Saint Andrews College, chairman of the Institute for Classical Languages, and director of the Universal Latin Exam. He has spent the last two decades developing methods of Ancient Language teaching, most notably the famous Picta Dicta online learning platform designed to butress immersion ancient language pedagogy in a novel and interactive way.
