Every month, there will be a tip, a web site posting, and a lesson, which will cover both Hieroglyphic and Coptic. In order to ensure that you pursue the curriculum as vigorously as you can, please do the assignments recommended at your own discretion.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE recruit more people, every Egyptian you know.
