When you learn an ancient language like Greek or Hebrew you get spoiled by all of the different study helps and resources that are available. For Greek I have two different sets of flashcards, laminated quick reference guides, multiple vocabulary guides, and electronic versions of primary texts. But when you go on to learn ancient/medieval languages like Syriac or Ge'ez study helps are a little bit harder to come by. That's why I'm excited to be able to share these Ge'ez flashcards I've put together.
- The set includes over 700 individual flashcards
- The flashcards are based on the vocabulary lists in Thomas Lambdin's introductory grammar
- The words are printed in the Ge'ez script, rather than transliteration, so you can learn to recognize them the way you'll see them in actual texts
- There is a separate card with the plural form(s) of each noun
- The corner of each flashcard has a number that corresponds to the chapter in which it appears in Lambdin
- The backs of the flashcards have the English glosses
There are some instructions in the PDF on how to print and assemble the flashcards. I recognize that some may not want to go through the work of doing that themselves, so in the very near future I may start selling some finished sets through this website (price would probably be around $30 including shipping within the U.S.). If that's something you would be interested in, let me know.
