We meet at 2pm-4pm on the 1st Monday of the month in the Senior Citizens’ Hall, Curriers Lane, Shifnal.
The Latin Group has been studying this ancient language for 9 years, gradually working through the Cambridge Latin Course. The grammar and vocabulary add depth to our understanding of other European languages, including English, while the stories have taken us to Pompeii on the eve of the eruption of Vesuvius, Alexandria and Britannia – Aquae Sulis, just as the baths are being built, and the fort of Chester.
We enjoy the challenge of the learning, working together at a steady pace to understand the complexities of Latin grammar. We are starting Book IV of the course, so anyone wishing to join this group would need to have a prior knowledge of the language.
We meet at a public space in Shifnal, so room hire charges apply, and we purchase our own textbooks and dictionaries.
