Paideia is a tutor that teaches by asking. It sends you to the great books, hears your answers in your own words, and does not move on until you can do the thing yourself.
Paideia opens to new learners soon. The Reading Library is free to everyone now.
In English, "the girl sees the servant" and "the servant sees the girl" mean different things. What tells you who is doing the seeing?
The word order. Whoever comes first.
Right, for English. Now Latin: puellam servus videt. The girl is first. Is she the one seeing?
No… puellam has an -m. So she's the one being seen?
Yes. You read it from the ending, not the order. That is inflection, and it is the key to the whole language.
The way the best tutors always have: one learner, one lesson, and nothing counted as learned until it can be done without help.
Every lesson is a conversation. You answer in your own words; when you go wrong, it asks the question that lets you find the error yourself.
Plato, Augustine, Euclid, Dante and Scripture, read in the original or in good translations, with free printable packets of every public-domain reading.
What is worth keeping comes back as short reviews, spaced out over weeks, so that what you learn this month is still yours next year.
Eight subjects, taught in the order of the Trivium: first the facts and forms, then how they fit together, then how to say and defend them well.
