Latin 101
There is no instructor. Each participant will complete the readings and workbook exercises, as well as listen to the appropriate pre-recorded lectures before the next meeting date. The group meets at 2:00 p.m. Central on the First and Third Tuesdays via Zoom to compare notes, discuss common problems, and share learning strategies. Each meeting will be recorded and posted to the Member Portal so that others can watch later as desired. The learning intensity will resemble a college course, but once things get started, the group may decide to slow down or speed up the schedule.
The Zoom meeting for our monthly gatherings is here. Our assignment and meeting schedules are here.
