More Information (Actual Radio is not responsible for external websites)

This is a day-course for real beginners. You’re welcome too if you’re not new to Latin, but no previous knowledge is needed. Come and have some fun, and make new discoveries! You’ll have an introduction to how the language works, and discover all sorts of things about English too, with so many Latin words at the root of English ones. Last but not least, you’ll get to hear some of the great works read aloud.

Presented by George Sharpley of 'The Latin Qvarter', participants can look forward to seeing how the language works, looking at the Latin roots of many English words, hearing some of the exquisite poetry from Virgil, Horace and Ovid, and learning more about these ancient writers and the world they knew.
