What we do
Active Latin – structured, demanding, effective
Online Courses
Our online courses are designed for active Latin and sustained progress. In small, stable groups, we work systematically on comprehension, expression, and confidence in using the language. Instruction is clearly structured and aimed at learners who want not just to read Latin, but to truly master it.
As our offering now includes several formats and levels, we recommend booking a short consultation. This allows us to identify the most suitable option quickly and without unnecessary back-and-forth.
Private Instruction
Our private instruction is not a tutoring service. It is intended for learners with a serious interest in linguistic progress. We work in a focused and methodical way on active expression, idiomatic accuracy, and clean Latin without barbarisms.
This format is particularly suitable for those who prefer to work independently of group schedules or who are pursuing highly specific goals.

Latin Workshops · Professional Development · Lectures
We offer in-person formats in Berlin and, upon request, at other locations. These include workshops, professional development courses, and lectures on active Latin pedagogy.
Our offer is aimed at schools, universities, teachers, and institutions interested in well-founded, practice-oriented formats. Content and scope are always tailored individually.

Latin Stammtisch
The Berlin Latin Stammtisch (Circulus Latinus Berolinensis) is a complementary offering of our online school. It is intended for our students and for a small circle of personally invited participants.
The meeting is not a public event. However, we are generally open to getting to know new interested individuals. As a rule, we clarify in a short preliminary conversation whether participation makes sense.
What Our Students Say
Raffaella (Italy)
“Dear Speaking Latin team, it has been a pleasure to attend your online courses, as we read many Latin and Greek works and figure out their meaning together. The instructor's explanations are very helpful.”
Juan (USA)
“I started learning Latin by myself some years ago, which has always been difficult without guidance. Now that I am studying at Speaking Latin, I am definitely learning faster and notice how my speaking and listening skills are improving.”
Alica (Germany)
“Whenever we read Latin texts in class, the students help each other and what seemed difficult at first becomes clear and understandable. It is so much fun to talk Latin all the time without having to resort to English.”
Christian (Switzerland)
“It is just simply fun to learn ‘Living Latin’ from Luca. His teaching is creative & imaginative, witty & funny, yet at the same time philosophical, deep & relevant to our age. ‘speaking-latin.net’ is absolutely a treasure of ‘Latinitas Viva’.”
Elaine (Brasil)
“I found a real treasure: speaking Latin about Erasmus, like Erasmus! I wish I had found you earlier! Thank you for this great opportunity to learn together with friendly classmates and an admirably knowledgeable instructor.”
