Language Chaldean Langauge Studies Quizlet Resources.
Hey y'all,
I have been studying Chaldean out of a textbook in my free time for the last 2 or so years and wanted to share some resources with people. I'm on my Christmas break from college and have been studying Chaldean as much as possible. I rarely find the time for it during the semester, so I've been enjoying myself a lot.
I am using material from a book called Introductory Chaldean written by Mar Sarhad Y. Jammo and Fr. Andrew Younan. I am making Quizlets for each chapter and have reached 10 so far. I just wanted to send some links to my Quizlets so that other people could utilize them.
I wrote my flashcards in the Estrangela font with Eastern Syriac vowels because I was unsure how to get Madnhaya on my computer. If anyone is interested in just picking up some vocabulary or maybe has the same little textbook I have and wants an effective flashcard system then I got you! Important to note that the dialect MIGHT BE from the Nineveh Plains (I'm not entirely sure). My mom speaks the Tel Keppe dialect and she understands it perfectly so I'm assuming it's using her dialect as the standard. Correct me if I'm wrong though
I am in the process of making more Quizlets, and I recommend getting Anki (flashcard software) and getting the Quizlet importer add-on. It's a better system than Quizlet it has advertisements now, unfortunately.
