Latin & the Roman World

We are following the ‘Cambridge Latin Course’ for language practice, grammar and background.

Scout & Guide HQ
1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month
2.15 - 4.15 pm
  • Leader: Dennis Morley - 01704 545805
  • Coordinator: Chris Procter
 

The first meeting of the new year will be 15 September. All are welcome.

We shall look at the Cicero’s “De Senectute” until Christmas, translating sections by leader, class members and groups.

There will also be a Presentation each month by members on different aspects of Roman and Greek History and life. The Cambridge Latin Course, Book 5, will be the base study book. We shall translate each passage, and use the accompanying grammar sections as revision practice.

Wherever appropriate, we shall be looking at current English usage in the media, where the Latin grammatical influence is present – or absent!
