I loved drawing the little hieroglyphs, but I think this book needed better editing. I made some notes on perceived errors on Goodreads while reading, but now I can't access them.
In learning something like this, I recommend doing a half an hour a day. I set a timer. Well, I set it for ten minutes, but I find I get so involved that I go the full 30 all at once. I draw all the hieroglyphs as they are introduced and the ones in the exercises and then pencil translations around them.
I think the show more most useful hieroglyphic sentence I learned was: Reed leaf, quail chick, seated man, mouth, walking hobble, walking man with stick, bowtie (belt really) vulture head, viper. "I will wring his neck." This will fit in with my only Latin: Hoc salsum esse putas?
So now that I'm done, what do I do? Back to Greek? Back to German? Or go through this whole hieroglyphic thing again?
Oh, here are the notes:
Great fun, but very poorly edited. Chapter 18 is labeled 20. Exercises are missing. Okay, now I found a typo in the answers at the back - and if I can spot an error, there must be plenty more that got by me. show less
