Greek Summer School at Bryanston 2012Hi everyone,
Would just like to know who will be going to this year's Greek Summer school at Bryanston? Who will be in the intermediate group?
Also, anyone who has been before please share your experiences, I would like to know what it's all like, and i'm pretty nervous!
Thanks

Re: Greek Summer School at Bryanston 2012I've been before... twice
. No need to be nervous at all. Sure you will be set a lot of work but you sign up in full awareness of that, and otherwise it's pretty fun. There are loads of sports, plays, orchestra's, bacchic orgies etc... to get involved in and at no point can i say that I was bored. You'll have a good time, don't worry. Everyone is really nice and there is no need to be anyone but yourself whilst there.

Re: Greek Summer School at Bryanston 2012sounds so cool!
Right now at school there's literally no one like me with such an interest for classics, I don't know whether that was the same for you, but did you find it was way easier to relate to everyone? If so, that's probably one of the things i'm most looking forward to!

Re: Greek Summer School at Bryanston 2012To be honest, everyone there has voluntarily chosen to give up two weeks of their summer to have intensive Greek lessons, everyone relates to everyone there and most if not all people there genuinely enjoy Classics. You'll have a good time.(Original post by bassingabout)

Re: Greek Summer School at Bryanston 2012They tell you the theme one or two days before so you can go to town and take advantage of the fancy dress shop. I can't think of anything else to say, the best way to find out is to go, and you are about to in the next month or so.(Original post by bassingabout)
ah great, much reassured now
i've heard on other threads about fancy dress parties? cant wait, but do they tell you the theme before you go?
You got any any other heads-ups?

once you've got the alphabet you can just liken it to latin, and it turns out to be far simpler than latin anyway :P (wait, you do latin right?!) -

Re: Greek Summer School at Bryanston 2012Yeah I do Latin(Original post by bassingabout)

Re: Greek Summer School at Bryanston 2012same :/ i've never been, but i think you'll be fine at beginners level, those are the glory days of greek, but they'll be over soon :P(Original post by The Creamy Urchin)
I'm going in the beginners' group. I'm slightly apprehensive; I've heard Byranston is fairly savage as far as work load is concerned . -
