Review Quote A refreshingly modern and unconventional introduction to Middle Egyptian, this book makes hieroglyphs accessible to independent learners, without expecting from them any previous knowledge of grammatical matters. Applying techniques developed in the teaching of modern languages and through the use of interactive exercises, the author introduces his readers to the original ancient texts from the very first page, allowing them to learn ancient Egyptian through practice, rather than theory.
