We meet fortnightly on Wednesdays from 2pm to 4pm in a member's house. We are very fortunate in having a Wheathampstead u3a member and former Latin teacher, Catharine, who has kindly volunteered to be our tutor.

Catharine is happy for you to be a raw beginner - Latin ab initio! She will need to go back to basics as some of us have not looked at a Latin book for 60 years! Her view is that it doesn't matter what you do or do not know already, so long as you have the motivation to learn.

Latin is so useful for other languages and for reading inscriptions in heritage places but also it is a fascinating language to study in its own right, and we read some original literature.
