Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated

Trevor Naylor

Synopsis

The Ancient Egyptians used a hieroglyphic writing system that still resonates today for its graphic representation of things, people, pharaohs and concepts. These hieroglyphics were discovered by adventurers and archeologists in temples, tombs and on papyrus documents, telling of the everyday life, religion and history of this 5,000-year-old civilization. Some of the symbols were simple but represented something with a wider significance, such as the eye of Horus; other logographs might represent an animal, such as a snake, elephant or lion; while others, such as the Ba symbol of a bird with a human head, represented the human soul with the ability to travel to the afterlife using wings. The language grew and over time came to represent every facet of Ancient Egyptian life. This book allows the reader to piece together and read the symbols, to understand their meanings and use, and examines what they have taught the world about this most influential of early civilizations. In Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated, we learn more of the story of this rich ancient language and its development over thousands of years, and the story of their decipherment after the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. The book explores the key logograms for popular concepts such as ‘sun’, ‘house’ and ‘mountain’, as well as more complex ideas such as Ajet, or ‘sun rising over mountains’; marvel at Tutankhamun’s full name as marked on his tomb, which is portrayed using a reed, a wave of water, a falcon, an ankh symbol, and a series of staffs; learn about the two outstretched arms of the Ka symbol, which represents the mortal life and soul of a person. Each of the graphically illustrated entries is accompanied by a description of the written form and an explanation of its meaning. Presented in a high-quality Chinese-bound format with accompanying illustrations, Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated provides a compact, easy-to-understand introduction to the writing system of Ancient Egypt.

ORDER - very simple spoken English

BARAKATH

This file appears to be a structured practice resource focusing on imperative sentence patterns in English, particularly commands in reported speech. It contains a sequence of short, repetitive instructions starting with “I ordered him to…” followed by different action verbs like read, eat, sleep, walk, talk, speak, run, and so on. 
The text seems designed for English language learners to: 
Recognize and practice the grammatical structure I ordered him to + verb. 
Expand vocabulary by exposing learners to a variety of common verbs (both physical actions like jump, run, sweep, and transactional ones like buy, sell). 
Improve sentence fluency by repeating a fixed sentence frame while changing the verb, which reinforces both grammar and word recall. 
This pattern-based approach can help learners internalize how to use commands in indirect speech, making it useful for teaching, self-study, or creating drills for spoken English practice. It’s especially suitable for beginner to intermediate learners who benefit from repetitive exposure to sentence structures. 
If you’re using this as teaching material, you could: 
Turn it into oral repetition exercises. 
Use role-play scenarios where one person gives orders and another carries them out. 
Ask learners to replace “him” with other pronouns or nouns, and the verbs with synonyms to expand usage flexibility.

Romanian Made Easy - Lower...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Romanian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Romanian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.
In Unit 1 you will hear Romanian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Romanian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Romanian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Romanian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Romanian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

- Asking about people or things
- Talking about the current time and date
