Read Greek? Check out Ὁ ἐπὶ Τροίᾱν Πόλεμος. It's a fun little Greek novella. ericsowell.com/blog/2026/2/2…

I had a wonderful time at the @polisjerusalem Dallas program this summer. I just posted about it on my blog.

If you're going to dig into the world of second-language acquisition, you need to wrestle with Stephen Krashen's ideas. If you want to understand them better, here are his five hypotheses in brief.

Doing some L2 acquisition reading on vocabulary learning. I've my own favorite outside-the-classroom learning activities, but I'm reading to improve practices for myself and others. This last week's reading was from a relevant 2011 paper. ericsowell.com/blog/2025/10/…

Assisted or unassisted reading? To listen to audio when you read a foreign language text or not to listen, that is the question. But what's the answer? ericsowell.com/blog/2025/10/…

Today was the final meeting for my @CatherineProj group working through Aristotle's Metaphysics. It's a tough book, and reading it with a group helps. The group was a blessing and a gift.
This was very good. If you’re interested in either TX/OK history or the Comanche, I highly recommended it.

Just for fun, today I checked to see if Chatgpt could transcribe some Migne for me. Very cool, but note the hallucination at the end. Untrustworthy but useful.

Glad to get some contributions to an @obsdmd plugin published that make things a little nicer for bible study notes. github.com/rmellmer/obsidian…
