How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs: A Step-By-Step Guide to Teach Yourself by Mark Collier, Bill Manley
1.0
Would not recommend at all. I am an Egyptology student with intermediate knowledge of the language. I forgot I had this book and thought that I would use it to compliment my studies.
It is so hard to understand. It is terribly written and laid out. The transliterations are incorrectly given. Take 'house for example. They say the translit is pr when it is actually pr.w
They miss all of the additional notations. They do not explain the endings very well for plural, adjectives, pronouns and such. They just throw them in there and hope for the best.
If you want to learn words and about the offering formula, this is good. Otherwise its a load of rubbish
