Siwa: A Descriptive Grammar

[WeepingElf]

Chapter one: front page.

Chapter two: table of contents.

Nothing's missing.

It is unusual to count the front page and the table of contents as chapters, though.

Quite. Which is why I was confused, especially as they are missing from the table of contents, and there are some unmarked white pages after the TOC.

It's a quirk of how Pages auto-generates a table of contents. There's a way around it, but it's not massively intuitive.

Quick update:

New version of the book. Slightly different format. Added introduction and parts of chapter 2 on the Siwa people. Also added LESSONS! Lessons 1 and 2 are up as well as parts of lesson 3, and 1-2 have recordings if you click on the Siwa dialogue.

The book is here.

The lessons with recordings are here.

I'd be curious to hear what you think of the lessons. Too hard? Too fast? Too easy?

Cheers

Not pertaining to the lessons, but I'd love to know when a finalised copy might be ready for addition to my personal library. 2015 I hope?

Well I'm about to embark on a 7 day proofread-oton (night shifts at a hotel...). Then I want to keep adding lessons, continue the second chapter and add more words to the lexicon. So yeah, I think maybe after christmas 2015? Hopefully! It's an ongoing project and will probably always be so there is no point in waiting for it to be perfect, but these have been my goals for a while now and I feel I'm close to achieving them. It will probably not be cheap though! Book printing in Iceland is like everything else, quite expensive, and so is sending heavy things abroad. I'll have to look at my options for printing however, if anyone wants a copy. People have been saying they'd like one, but I don't think much will happen once I reveal it'll cost like a 100$.

Perhaps you could accept some sort of donation then? I wouldn't mind printing it here in the States, as the prices are much more reasonable -- but only with your consent. I've been fascinated with and adored Siwa for what feels like a long time now!
