Sumerian updates!

Recently I've been getting lots of questions over on my blog, about Sumerian culture, how to translate your name into Sumerian, and much more. Check out my question tag here to see all the replies.

Last time, I asked for your questions, and you delivered! My Q&A video can be watched at right.

The first worksheets, covering lessons #2 and #3, are also available.

New lessons are coming soon! Visit my Sumerian page for more.
