Helios😂got me in the first 10 sec

I don't want to get TLG but it looks like i might have to. 😅

Just the other day I was looking, in vain, for the pronuntiation of the υι diphthong, but then you came to the rescue! Εὐχαριστῶ, ὦ φίλε!

👏 🤩

Hey Luke, I emailed you, I sent you a bunch of good resources for Coptic, let me know if you got it please.

It's amazing the amount of knowledge you have. Congratulations for all your efforts

Amazing stuff. 🎉🎉🎉 We are waiting for more Ancient Greek and Coptic content.

your contents never fail to amaze me!!!

How does it compare to Forum by Polis?

Hello Luke, if I have something interesting to share with you, how do I contact you?

Quomodo accentus?

Peter Stringa Hello, I am sorry to say that I will not listen to your channel anymore because you are a USA based company. Since Trump took office I decided to change my policy towards American bussiness and service companies. I do have to say I liked your channel.

I wish they would do a Hebrew

The major pentatonic scale is developed out of the first few overtones of the harmonic series. It makes sense that it develops all over the place.

Awesome plaid shirt you're wearing! And I may just add this book to my collection.

You are so good looking

You mentioned that you took time to go from an advanced level in Greek (Attic) to being able to just sit down with some Plato and read it comfortably. You started to talk about the way you did that but I'm not sure if you every totally answered how you bridged that gap (unless it was just by using the method in the video). Is it just that you used this method, or is there more to it? I would love a video about how to go from more or less able to read advanced material to being able to read it fluently, comfortably, without constant reference to dictionaries, etc.

I think it's a little optimistic to recommend this to autodidacts. For anything TPR a teacher is probably needed. 💜🖤

I would love to see you do a review of the legentibus app. I have been finding it very useful

I love biblical koine

Do they not sell the sound to go with the text?

It's great to see the revival of early and mid-20th century methods!

Where to buy them?

Which level?

Do they have a fundamentalist perspective? Andrew said hebrews spent 400 years in Egyot, when historically we now know this is not true, israelites emerged as an identity in Canaan itself, as a reorganization after the Bronze Age Collapse of the canaanite cities. And Beth says Genesis is older than Ezeckiel; does she mean Genesis was written by Moses? If so, this is tremendously wrong!

Reminds me of the old Medical School Maxim: "How do you get through Medical School? Butt in chair. Face in book".......this has never changed and never will.

This is the difference between reading/writing a language and speaking it. One really has nothing to do with the other. You can learn to read any language in about 12-18 months, but becoming truly "Fluent" with native speakers, takes years, and can be learned via immersion alone, if need be.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6C7lpJvm9iDha8si=iBJWFLP9BcerAfQ5 my thoughts went to this song Still it will take at least tree months to learn a new language of your choice

Seminary students are being mislead with ancient Greek and are now switching to modern Greek. They have to unlearn a language that is not even a language. That will force seminary professors to actually learn Greek.

D Vær du hil-set 🤗

I think you could find plenty of literature for Coptic like the Gnostic texts with their translation, but they are mostly in the Sahidic dialect, which isn't that different from the Bohairic one, however you need to get used to the differences first of course, great video, thank you, and Merry Christmas!

Honestly I’m finding I learn faster by listening to your music. Naturally I use other methods in concert

This video showed up on my reccomended at the right time recently I planned to start learning the Alphabet so I can respond at my church in Coptic more fluently, God bless

Id love if they did some books in Aramaic or Syriac!

Alexander Murray, first editor (creator) of the Oxford English Dictionary, taught himself multiple languages by reading the Bible in translation. It’s like immersion, isn’t it? I have Harry Potter in French and in Latin, for the same purpose. I really struggle with trying to find easy things to read in Japanese - I do watch anime, but they often speak casual Japanese, and I mostly have learned formal Japanese. Anyway, I totally agree with this technique and thank you for suggesting Bible Gateway - I will try looking at the Bible in Japanese, French and Latin.

Which Bible is this? Horner?

Dear luke, I really like your methods for learning obscure languages. I think a language will never truly be "dead" as long as it can give us so much information. By the way, do you perchance know some good, ørberg like books for learning hungarian?

What website do you use to see both texts? I feel like you said it in the video, but I couldn't find the part

I hope this method of learning languages by funny histories will expand to the scholar ambit.

Nice!! Luke, a quick questions. Since you are reviewing some polis institute’s book, I was wandering if you are thinking of reviewing “Ἕν, δύο, τρία· Ἑλληνίζωμεν δι’ εἰκόνων καì σκηνῶν. Spoken Ancient Greek”. I don’t know if you already did, if so, I can not find it on YT. I hope to see it soon!

I thought I heard counting! I knew ⲥⲛⲁⲩ, which is probably a cognate of שנים, and the rhythm sound like counting.

4:58 Пісахі - looks like a Russian "Писать" or Ukrainian "Писати" (to write) I immediately knew it has to do something with writing whatever the language it is, so I believe the true translation for that word might be "written word", not just word, or more like just "written", пісахі, which already Filled with meaning, what else can be written, of course the word, so I believe that it is just "written". 33:45 iwannис (John) sounds like a name in Ukrainian Bible "Иоанн", (Johann) so I bet the name Jesus should be similar in coptic "іісwc"? Idk which one is U and J to use in coptic, , but it should be similar to ієсоyс, ієсус, iisoos, e-e-s-oo-s. Иисус, іісус. "Evaггеліоп ката іwaппеп" 3:40 The first 3 words after long line in the middle of the page, - Evangeline (Gospel), similar to russian Евангелие or Ukrainian Євангеліє, looks exactly like coptic, - kata, looks like Russian or Ukrainian "как" (how), or I feel like it should mean that word, because two words around it I do understand GOSPEL * JOHANNES, John, so gospel of John, or according to John's Gospel? Something like that, it should be. In Ukrainian it would be "Євангеліє по Іоанну" (по - also means как but it is more old church Ukrainian version of this word, how, according to) I don't know coptic and never seen it before, looked at the page for the first time and seems like I can read and understand about 20% of words, alphabet kinda Cyrillic, Greek like, it's crazy how it is similar to what I know. I speak Russian, Ukrainian, English, a bit Italian and Latin. Coptic feels like an old church Cyrillic language to me, if I learn a bit more of I might see more similarities with old Church Ukrainian that is inscribed in the capital of Ukraine in Kyiv's Church in 980s, saw it with my eyes. It is crazy. Also the word Coptic sounds so similar to Коптить, to fade away, decay in Russian or Ukrainian, seems like the name of the language is its state - fading away. I came to learn how to learn and found out I already know a bit of ancient coptic, 😂 thank you

Luke, you are going to have a sore forehead from smacking yourself! I tend to like using google translate to get at start in a new language. You can put in short sentences using words that you use in your normal conversations, that is, words that have meaning for you. Talk to people using google translate for a while. It could help to break the ice. It would be a fun way to learn, and you could have a conversation from day one. Because pleasure is involved, the words you use will stick more easily. Essentially, you get a side by side translation, but the words (in Latin for instance) come from your own thoughts in English and so you can relate to them better. To make progress, input needs to be relatable. If you can't relate to it, it is not comprehensible. And what is more relatable than your own thoughts? Therefore, putting English words into google translate to get a side by side latin translation results in a relatable and comprehensible translation.

Definitely going to pick these two up... I just received Bentley Layton's _Coptic In 20 Lessons_ and I saw both of these on Amazon, and was curious about them... Thanks for doing a review... 😮‍💨 Two more books I have to add to my library on the Egyptian language... Just when I thought I was done spending money... 😂

Hey Luke. This was very interesting. Is it possible to let us know what translation youre using? Id like to source that Coptic - English side by side New Testament document. I tried looking myself, but what i found was not as clear as what youre using. Thanks.

I had a Coptic doctor and i wish i coudl show em this stuff. Amazing.

Now i kinda want some Asterix books in Coptic.

Ciao Luke😉 posso chiederti dove hai preso il leggio che si vede all’inizio del video?

Looks interesting!! Once I get started on Coptic I will definitely try this book, ⲟⲩⲁⲓ, ⲥⲏⲁⲩ, ϣⲟⲙⲧ and maybe the reading method you recommended using a translation of any of the Gospels in Coptic. I also have a PDF of the grammar book "Introduction To Sahidic Coptic," if you have any advice for that one even if it's not Bohairic.

Thanks Luke, I just picked it up. I've started brute forcing with the gospels as well. One thing I have found from reading Allen's dialect book and emailing some professors is it's a bit hard to know certain fine details about the pronunciation. Especially around Chima and Janja.
