###How to prepare for class?
- Grammar: Pali Primer
- Alphabet: images from Google, is there a better place a rigorous explanation or listing?
- Pali Translation Society dictionary: how to prepare for class? Found the electronic searchable version online() as well as a PDF()
- Where to go afterwards
- Is the Vipassana Research Institute's Pali Summer good?
- Where to learn Pali through Devanagari?
###Specific questions:
- pronunciation of multiple short vowel syllables: are they equally flat or is there an accentation on one of them, what are the rules?
- implicit genitive: always true? with his hands, with his son, for his sons, from his students, his teacher etc?
- indefinite article: is there such a thing or such a concept? There doesn't seem to be from the Pali Primer
###Request:
- Facebook page for all participants to get to know each other and start discussions before the class. Please create it and email us the link. Alternatively I am happy to create it and send you the link and ask you to send out to all of us.
