Offered: Language lessons - SOLD!
Offer: Due to the popularity of my previous offer, I am offering another place in these lessons:
In five to ten short lessons, I will teach you the basics of reading ancient Mayan glyphs. Topics will include, but are not limited to:
-Basic verbs
-The Calendar Round and 2012
-Emblem glyphs
-Common titles
-Identifying rulers
-An introduction to iconography
Material will be drawn primarily from Yaxchilan and Tikal, though other sites are certainly negotiable. Perhaps you're travelling to Central America? Maybe you want to know what all the end of the world fuss is about? Maybe you just love languages. Whatever it is, Mayan is a fascinating language.
I am (as of August 08) a PhD student in Mesoamerican linguistics. CV is available upon request. See an example of my work here.
In addition, this offer also includes a copy of John Montgomery's How to Read Mayan Hieroglyphs, with relevant passages and exercises marked.
