Summary

Phoenician Influence explores the significant yet often overlooked impact of the Phoenicians on the ancient world, focusing on their pivotal role in shaping global communication and commerce. This civilization, originating in the Levant, left an indelible mark through its maritime trade, innovative alphabet, and widespread cultural exchange. The book highlights how the Phoenician alphabet, a revolutionary advancement over previous writing systems, became the foundation for numerous alphabets, including those used by the Greeks and Romans. Furthermore, their extensive trade networks fostered the exchange of not only material goods but also ideas and artistic styles across diverse Mediterranean cultures.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with an examination of the Phoenicians' rise during the Bronze Age collapse, delving into their societal structure, religious beliefs, and political organization. It then meticulously details the development and dissemination of their alphabet, analyzing its structure and adaptation by other cultures. The narrative further explores their maritime exploits, charting their trade routes and the resulting economic and cultural exchanges.

 
The culmination focuses on the lasting impact of Phoenician culture on Mediterranean civilizations, including their powerful colony, Carthage, emphasizing their influence on art, architecture, and religion. By synthesizing archaeological findings, epigraphic evidence, and historical texts, Phoenician Influence provides a balanced and nuanced understanding of this ancient civilization, acknowledging both their achievements and limitations. This comprehensive approach offers valuable insights into the origins of the alphabet, the dynamics of ancient trade networks, and the broader processes of cultural diffusion, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and general readers interested in ancient history and language.

    Thank you for your interest in the German for Beginners audiocourse by Audioacademyeu. The course is designed for  absolute and "false" beginners. So if you started learning German some time ago and now want to brush up on the basics, this is the right audiocourse for you.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find a total of 2,500 vocabulary words and practice sentences.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in German, in track one you hear the  German word twice.Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in German twice. Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into German (lesson 6) in the time gap before the english translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts.  In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to.  In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English and Jorg Hochfeld and Anja Flaume  in German.Lesson 001 LivingLesson 002 TravellingLesson 003 TimeLesson 004 NumbersLesson 005 Hotel, restaurantLesson 006_FoodLesson 007 Communication 1Lesson 008 Communication2Lesson 009 CityLesson 010 ShoppingLesson 011 GreetingsLesson 012 Work 01Lesson 013 Work 02Lesson 014 NatureLesson 015 FamilyLesson 016 CommunityLesson 017 CharacteristicsLesson 018 LeisureLesson 019 Phrases
