Middle Egyptian hieroglyph study group 2008

GlyphStudy

As most visitors will know, I am a member of a study group (GlyphStudy) which offers the opportunity to learn hieroglyphs from a standard text with a number of other like-minded people. We use email to co-ordinate our efforts and have online resources at the GlyphStudy home page.

We are starting up a new beginner's hieroglyph study group at the moment, starting off with Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs: A Practical Guide - A Step-by-Step Approach to Learning Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs by Janice Kamrin (Harry N. Abrams ISSN/ISBN: 081094961X). It is available from a number of online sources.

After completing the Kamrin book we will move on to James P. Allen’s Middle Egyptian. The earliest chapters of Allen will be useful revision, but will soon take us into many new aspects of grammar and will introduce us to a much wider vocabulary.

The group’s overall leader is Karen, and our moderator for the new group (who will co-ordinate all our activities) will be Bob Manske, who is has been a member of the group for some time, and is an invaluable resource in his own right.

If you like the sound of this and want to join us (it is free of charge) you will need to follow some basic instructions. Our group is operated from a Yahoo! Website, and you will need an email invitation to join it.

Send an email to Karen (kmotc@swbell.net) with the following information:

1. Tell her that you are new to the group and wish to join
2. Give a first name and
3. Give a last name
   
4. Give a current email address.

I look forward to seeing some of you over there!
