Recognize Phoenician letters before practicing longer forms.
The collection starts with letters and their supplied names, readings and comparison notes, followed by word-reading groups. Some source word forms are marked uncertain in their notes; keep those qualifications in mind as you study.
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.
