Yes, I did (and I also mentioned it in my post above).
Oops, my bad!

Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies runs a Pali course by Professor Richard Gombrich. The January course has already started but one can keep in touch with them by subscribing to their newsletter. At first, I thought you were looking for a free course (like the Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit course) - that's why I didn't think of suggesting this in the first place.galaxyrocker wrote:Count me in. I'm actively studying Pali right now, but have resources for Old Irish and Latin. I'd love to get to the first one eventually, and Latin would be cool, but it's a way off right now. I'm currently looking for online Pali courses similar to what Josquin found for Sanskrit. I've found a couple of (US-based) universities that offer it, and will likely reach out to them soon.

@n_j_f: This group was originally intended as a study group for The Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit, but after some input from aravinda and igunanmon, I decided to make a study group for all classical languages out of it. We can discuss the CIS here, if you like (In fact, I'm using it right now. I'm already on lesson 8). Of course, you can also start a separate group if you'd prefer that, but I'd like giving this group a shot first. If you'd like to join, just say so.

Out of interest, how big is the jump from Modern Irish to Old Irish? Is it akin to someone today reading or listening to Shakespeare, or more like Chaucer or even Beowulf? If I ever make it through my Irish studies, it could be interesting to read Old Irish material.
n_j_f wrote:Out of interest for anyone studying Old Church Slavonic or has studied this in the past, which resources did you use? The only thing in English that seems to be available are a few grammars. I imagine that there is more available in Russian and other Slavic languages. Any recommendations for Russian language courses to learn OCS?
