Learn the supplied Egyptian uniliteral signs.
These lessons pair individual hieroglyphs with transliteration labels and sign-description notes. A description such as hand or arm helps identify the pictured sign; it is distinct from the reading you are practicing.
Read these examples freely without an account. In the app you can preview lessons, study a private copy and progress through the course one lesson at a time.
