Online Study

LEXinars™ are convenient online courses offering access to a deep, accurate, and clear understanding of how written English works. Course content is responsive to client demand, and course offerings are always evolving. LEXinars™ may include downloadable film and/or print resources for participants.

LEXinars™ include single-installment courses as well as multiple-installment and year-long options; installments range from 90-120 minutes. Delivered live in real time (not recorded or archived), LEXinars™ are scheduled quarterly, based on the scheduling needs and availability of pre-paid, registered participants. Once a course is on the calendar, anyone may sign up and join, but we will not respond to scheduling inquiries without pre-registration. LEX™ requires at least new five participants to schedule a course; previous participants may email a request to re-take scheduled LEXinars™ at no additional charge, space permitting.

LEX also offers FREE Pop-Up classes about once a month, on a variety of topics. These are available to paid subscribers of Shameless Spelling™ by LEX.

Live Study

LEX™ offers a small selection of transformative in-person options for group study. These live events not only offer unparalleled opportunities to deepen not only an accurate understanding of the writing system, but also important and lasting collegial ties with others eagerly seeking the same understanding.

Symposium in Prescott: In 2019, 16 people gathered for the five-day Symposium in the Pines word study retreat in beautiful Prescott, Arizona, LEX’s™ hometown. In 2025, LEX is hosting again with the Symposium on Whiskey Row. Includes lodging in a historic downtown hotel, local sightseeing ventures, and intensive word study with LEX™. See this link for more information.

Word Study Abroad with LEX™. Past trips have included word study in central France, sightseeing in Paris, the castles of the Loire Valley, and the cave paintings at Lascaux. Our 2020 Bastard Tour, retracing the footsteps of William the Conqueror, was canceled due to COVID. We’re back in 2026 with a word study retreat in glorious Portugal. Watch this space, or inquire for more information.

The Annual Etymology! Weekend with Douglas Harper of The Online Etymology Dictionary was a live, themed conference that traveled to a different location each spring for 10 years before moving online during and after COVID. There are currently no plans for additional Etymology! Weekend seminars.

We look forward to more live story to come!
