Send us Fan Mail And this person here must be shakespeare’s teacher.- Hic Latīnē tantum loquimur. Pardon me. I said that we only speak Latin here. But I don't know Latin. Could you speak in English? Well, yes, ordinarily all of the class is communicated using Latin. But I assume I can make one exception for you now since you do seem to be an English speaking person. Thank you very much. But first, I have something that I need to say– This series blends historical research with fiction and imagined conversations. Not a documentary, not advice. Today: the schooling that made Shakespeare’s language possible—and how those rhetorical “moves” show up in the plays like fingerprints. Now Picture it: a grammar school. from at least six o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock at night Monday through Saturday. Repetition that drills itself into the mind. Latin. Translation. Memorization. Imitation. Not because the world is kind, but because the world is competitive. A boy learns to hold language in his mouth like a tool—and to sharpen it.
