from Lisa Forrest;
This summer, as part of a course at the National Film and Television School, I’m making a short documentary about Latin in the UK. I’m keen to talk to a range of Latin teachers about their careers and what they think the outlook for Latin may be. Initially I’d like just to have a chat, with a view to possibly doing some filming in August. If you’d like to help out, please e-mail me your name and I’ll send you some more information about what I’m doing and we can go from there.
many thanks,
Lisa Forrest

I am one of those “non-specialist” Latin teachers who came to Latin late in my career (I trained as a German teacher). Now I am teaching Latin almost full-time, having introduced the sybject from scratch in September 2007 as fast-track GCSE subject. This September there will be 80 pupils learning at my school, ranging from Year 8 to 12. If I can be any help in your research I will be glad to chat or reply to e-mails.
