We kept this interview to as close to 30 minutes as I could, but it was hard! Let me introduce you to Dwane Thomas, creator of Visual Latin and Word Up! Much more than "just" a language teacher, he continues to embody the concept of a lifestyle of learning. During our altogether-too-brief time, he talks about the "risks" of homeschooling, what he really thinks about Latin, interesting facts about the headwaters of the Mississippi River, and the roots of the word "infantry." (And yeah, it's really all connected!) Finally, he shares some hard-earned words of advice to other homeschool dads on the journey. Truly an episode you'll want to share!
