study group

hi, one & all,
i borrowed Pali Primer two week ago, and yes, it's a good book for
beginners.
many words are repeated in the exercises so that we can familiarise
ourselves with them.
the author concentrated on masculine and did the 7 cases in 7 lessons - Our
Prof Sumanapala did it in 1 lesson & then introduced neuter and feminine.
This is what i call a 'crash course'.
so Yong Peng's suggestion to decide on a book & study together is good. i
need that discipline otherwise, i'll be lost in no time.
hope to have a study group.
