A TREASURE TROVE OF ANCIENT EUROPEAN LANGUAGES
We have all heard of Ancient Greek and Latin. But there are numerous other ancient European languages with their own fascinating histories and often extensive literatures. From Norse sagas to the stories of Cyril and Methodius and the conversion of the Armenian king around 300AD, this course will give you a rare taste of what is out there from both a linguistic and literary perspective. It is a chance for some to connect with their own particular European heritage. There will be an overview of a different language each week for 8 weeks. The following languages will be covered: Linear B (Mycenaean Greek), Oscan/Umbrian, Hittite, Old Norse, Old Irish/Ancient Gaulish, Tocharian A/B, Old Church Slavonic and Classical Armenian.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
