In this video above, I warmly welcome you to my new self-paced, pre-recorded course, where I share an overview of its contents, my teaching approach, and the methodology behind it.

This course is fun and highly educative! It will make you fall in love with our Latin alphabet again, by discovering its close relationships, and by understanding what it means to write a fully connected alphabet.
