Forums > Study > Latin Learning Group

Dazzer, Tommann and Linie, thanks! I'm actually a bit surprised to have this many people reply to my thread... Guess dear Latin isn't all that dead after all.

Tomorrow we'll be two or three people, depending on availability. Anyway, I think you might want to bring your favourite Latin books with you, as our textbooks are undoubtedly boring.

WARNING: apart from our group leader (he'll be present tomorrow) all of us are absolute beginners. I have yet to learn my 3rd Conjugation! (OMG! OMG!) However, you advanced scholars will still be able to share with one another. So... it will sort itself out eventually...? ╮(╯▽╰)╭

I propose that we meet around 15:30 at Sunshine Book Bar (阳光书吧, this is located in the back of Yunnan University Library, in the same building on the old campus on 121 Avenue). My mobile number is 137 0063 9975. Valete!

Forums > Study > Latin Learning Group

A couple of friends and I have started an unofficial Latin learning group. Usually we meet on Thursday afternoon on the campus of Yunnan University (old campus), near the clock tower, for a joint learning/exchange session. After that, we would briefly visit the lakeside English Corner... thing... before finally settling down for a relaxed conversation over beer in a nearby bar.

The textbooks we are presently using include Latin First Year (Magoffin & Henry), Wheelock's Latin 6th Revision and Latin for Beginners (Benjamin L. D'Ooge).

Anyone out there who doesn't mind wasting some time (that may have been more constructively employed elsewhere) by struggling with this old fossil of an outdated language please feel free to reply to the thread or contact me at ne.erwinter(at)gmail.com (Lorenzo).

Ego tibi maximus gratias ago and we look forward to meeting you!

The owners have obviously put a lot of effort into creating a unique, nostalgic style for Guangzong No. 3 through the design and decoration. Apparently, all those allegedly antique items cost money!

Also, the Wi-Fi there is the fastest compared to other restaurants and cafes in the area.

However, they really need to improve the variety of foods & drinks they offer and what really seriously bothered me was that, as the owners appear to be a bunch of students with extra money and time to spare, they are naturally NOT very service-conscious.

Last time my wife and I were there, their puppy relieved itself on the wooden floor, then the pee just sat there on the floor for like, two hours. Until one of the girls (not sure if an owner or waitress) came into the room and quickly went back out announcing, "The puppy has PEED! The puppy has PEED!". When we thought they'd finally noticed it and were about to do something about it... then, nothing?! She just made a public announcement upon her exciting discovery and that's it? Bovina Sancta!
(of course, the poor neglected puddle had almost completely evaporated, too)
