Intermediate Latin
This is our second group in Southwell, jointly with Newark, with a dozen enthusiastic members. We are now (April 2023) on on the later stages of the Cambridge Latin Course so are no longer "beginners"! . We have room for one or two more members who already have some fluency with the language. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays in the Library, from 10.00.
Thinking about starting Latin? Please contact me as I also run a local "Latin for Beginners" group in Newark.
Group Leader - Tom Chamberlain

Latin For Improvers
This group was formed out of the original Latin Group set up over ten years ago.
It is suitable for anyone with some knowledge of Latin who would like to relearn or improve their knowledge of the language and read some Latin authors in their original and unaltered format. The group is not “advanced”, but is around GCSE standard. We have selected texts that we might have studied for O level in the 1950s and 1960s.
The sessions are split into two.
If anyone is interested but in doubt as to the level, please do contact us or give us a try.
The group currently meets every other Monday by Zoom.

The group is not “advanced”, but is around GCSE standard. We have selected texts that we might have studied for O level in the 1950s and 1960s.
The sessions are split into two.
- In the first part we are revising the language using the current course for GCSE (by Cullen/Taylor).
- In the second part we read longer passages by Latin Authors. We read for enjoyment. There is no requirement for anyone to translate if they would rather follow whilst others translate..
If anyone is interested but in doubt as to the level, please do contact us or give us a try.
