Watch Luke Ranieri's review of the book here
Tibaki ("The town" in Bohairic dialect) applies the latest developments in language pedagogy to the ancient Coptic language. It expands on the Polis Institute's previous book, ⲞⲨⲀⲒ, ⲤⲚⲀⲨ, ϢⲞⲘⲦ (One, Two, Three: Speaking Coptic as a Living Language), which thematically presents sequences of actions to be, first, listened to and watched, and then enacted and retold by the learner. Tibaki reframes the former book in an order designed to facilitate the acquisition of the Coptic language and grammar, and supplements it with dialogues and exercises, which make it suitable for autodidacts. Teachers of Coptic will also find it handy, since it includes lesson plans and classroom activities. Therefore, Tibaki allows an engaging and vivid learning experience for Coptic. We hope that this book will revitalize its study and use.
