I’ve been taking @stephen’s great Pali Intensive Course this July. End of week 3 and we’re moving from Pali Primer to actual readings from the Canon. Today for homework, with nothing but dictionary and class notes, I tackled
I felt the same! Yes, it is such a rewarding exercise! All those accidents in pits, dog hitting and washing garments are now bearing fruit! But the drills did help immensely
The course really is fun, and is indeed effective. Even watching later on YouTube, the real students in the Zoom room and your interactions with them make a much better class than a lecture straight to camera does. You have a huge class to control too! De Silva and yourself have really worked to funnel students easily into the first Gair & Karunatillake chapter. Bhikkhu Bodhi’s lectures will be a lot easier going after these five weeks.
This looks like a useful resource; is it one of the best?
