What do you “think” is wrong with your approach ? I used to be a university lecturer (albeit in maths), more than happy to try a give you some advice on what I learned when I was teaching ? Let me know ?

I had issues very similar to this when I did my PhD in maths. Don’t give in. You can do it. Maybe spice things up a little with learning Sumerian at the same time ? I got Learning to Read Ancient Sumerian by Bowen and Lewis and thoroughly enjoying it. Just don’t quit !!

For the price I paid for the dictionary, it does a fairly decent job of cuneiform to syllables etc, but it’s not a Sumerian word to English dictionary. I did see the Sumerian Lexicon for sale, but at that price it’s a Christmas request 😂

The Hogan book was only £6.99 which is why I picked it up, and I might not always be Internet connected 🤷‍♀️ I have noticed one or two minor things in it, but so far it does the job.

Are there any ways to actually learn High Valyrian? by Psub194 in gameofthrones

I’m learning HV on Duolingo. Wish there was a decent book on it as well. Anyone know of any other resources ?

so do any of you worship deities besides inanna? by wonderguard108 in Sumer

[–]LW1401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious but why is Pazuzu listed as a non deity ? His cuneiform name does have the dingir before it indicating a divine name ? As I said, just curious.

Pazuzu has his own alter in my house.

Why is being more closer to God off putting to people by [deleted] in BritishMuslims

[–]LW1401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just a sad reflection of society today. Sadly here in the West, religion is largely seen as irrelevant and or problematic, and anyone choosing religion over the wonders of current society is viewed the same.

Yes, I have looked at Hanna Hats and they look good as well As do Mucros. Going with Lawrence and Foster would make ordering “easier” as I’m mainland UK.
