Introduction	I come from Canada, and I have a bachelor's degree in linguistics and combined classics/Greek/Latin from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, AB. This is just the start of my fifth year teaching, and there is still a lot for me to learn (when you're a teacher, there's always a lot to learn), so bear with me.
