Latin
This group has been running since 2013. Our members have altered over the years but we are just as committed as ever! Sessions take place on the second Thursday of the month 2.00 - 4.00 pm via Zoom.
We had been following a Latin reading course prepared by the Scottish Classics Group entitled Ecce Romani. This course consists of five separate books covering different aspect of life and customs in the early Roman Empire and has been designed as a preparation for Examinations at 16+. The language has become more complex and the passages longer as we have made progress. Having completed Books 1 to 4, we have now decided to use Oxford Latin Course Part III so that we can learn about Horace, the poet, while using the grammar and structures we have come across in Ecce Romani.
The group is now about GCSE standard and just as keen as ever to continue challenging ourselves and to keeping our brains active. New members are welcome but this is not a group for beginners.
