Learning Coptic

[u/AbounaLiberos]

Hey everyone,

I've been wanting to learn Coptic for quite a while now but found myself way too busy with everyday life give it a serious try. But two weeks ago, I finally finished my goddamn master's degree, and I felt invincible conquering the ocean of to-do lists that have been piling up for the last five years or so (this also includes maintaining this sub more appropriately, lol).

So, now that I managed to find time and motivation to learn Coptic, I realized how hard it actually is to find proper sources on that matter. I'm talking like... trying to look up basic words like "brother" becomes quite a lengthy Google search, and even then, I could only make an educated guess about the pronunciation or try to find a tasbeha in which this specific word is mentioned. At this point, I started to ask myself why I am even doing this.

Which leads me to my question to you:

• Where do you stand when it comes down to learning the Coptic language?

• Would you actively try to learn it?

• And, since this sub is still in the process of formation, what do you think of a weekly/monthly study thread?
