Our on-line Summer School is running every Thursday at 20:00 until 29 August. This is where we take a break from coursebook based learning. We're improving our Cornish by reading aloud our Book of the Summer, which is John Buchan's An Nawnjek Stap warn Ugans, available on the Literature page of this website. In particular, we're exploring the skills needed to make successful Cornish audio books. The Summer School is still open for new joiners. Contact Us if you would like to enrol. Meetings by Zoom. No charge.

We are considering whether to organize a weekly on-line beginners class, by Zoom, starting on Monday 2 September 2024 at 20:00. The language taught would be idiomatic revived Cornish, taking account of all the sources for historical Cornish, and spelled in the system called Kernowek Standard (KS). The classes would be conducted mostly in English, but with conversational exercises in Cornish, and would last one hour. The coursebook would be Cara Kernowek 1 which is available on the Courses page of this website. The teacher would be Ian Jackson MA (Cantab), MA (Oxon), QTS. Contact Us if you are interested in joining such a class. Deadline 15 August 2024.

We are planning a fortnightly on-line class, by Zoom, starting on Thursday 5 September 2024 at 20:00, for those who have already done a beginners course and now wish to complete Level A of the Council of Europe Common European Framework.
