✦ Synopsis

A truly useful introduction to the Syriac language is a rare find. This practical initiation to the study of this ancient language of the Christian church speaks with clarity and authority. A fruitful integration of scholarly introduction and practical application, this primer is more than a simple grammar or syntactic introduction to the language. Written in a style designed for beginners, Kiraz avoids technical language and strives for a reader-friendly inductive approach. Readings from actual Syriac texts allow the student to experience the language first hand and the basics of the grammar of the language are ably explained. The book comes with downloadable material so that readers may listen to all reading sentences and text passages in the book.

Overall, the book is ok but it does not teach you the concepts in detail. If you never had this class before, this book is not for you. It has a lot of exercises but little instruction. If you have a good instructor this book can work, otherwise this book will bring more frustration. JT
