Classics lovers will be delighted to hear that after a long break, the popular 'Latin for Pleasure' course is back at the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institute.
The Institute, tucked behind Highgate Hill at South Grove, is open to all adult learners and offers an eclectic mix of courses and activities to anyone wanting to stretch their intellectual muscles. Retired people from all walks of life are an especially keen part of its membership.
Latin for Pleasure is a case in point. Led by a local classicist, this course provides a rare opportunity to share Latin literature with other enthusiasts in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Participants are not required to translate the texts themselves, in class or at home – the instructor is there to take on the heavy lifting - but this course is most suitable for those who already have some experience of reading Latin, however rusty. There is no pressure, no homework and no exams - this really is Latin for pleasure. Come join us!
