Publisher's Synopsis
This book is the first of four foundation books to teach Assyrian speech to students who have already followed a beginners' reading course and are able to read a little. The method adopted in this course and the exercises are focused on listening and repeating sentences formed by the present tense of the verb to be. The students who follow this course diligently will be able to describe themselves and other people by giving their name, place of birth, nationality, job or occupation, personality traits and physical appearance. The student manual is intended to be used with the speech videos that are available online. In the second edition misspellings and other errors have been rectified, a few exercises have been extended, and the Mini Dictionary has been updated and enhanced with some additions.
