❓Ready for a long monotonous video where I talk about a few books connected to languages? Ready to hear someone butcher non-English surnames of authors? Possible typos and repetitive vocabulary?
✔️ Well, you my friend, have come to the right place!
Seriously, this video is a little bit more relaxed as I go through some of the more interesting books in my book collection. I tried to select a variety of texts, some will be useful for someone just getting into linguistics or Indo-European studies, other texts will be a bit more advanced. Plus, I’ll throw in some books which are personally important for me - like the Viking Language series by Byock. Finally, I'll let you know about what books I'm looking forward to being released in 2024, including Kroonen's Sub-Indo-European-Europe.
I did this video because a number of people have asked me, thanks to everyone who suggested the idea, in particular @davissandefur5980
🏛️🔱 Regarding Complete Ancient Greek - If I seem contradictory about it, generally, it's a good study book, particularly if you can get it for a good price. However, it is quite demanding on the learner (some people like that). It has the same format and style found in other books in the series.
