I discovered Assimil released "Assimil Hyeroglyphic Egyptian" in a "with Ease" format for
French speakers. And of course it has a sound track.
Did anyone try it ?
I won't (other fish to fry.)
I'd be happy to listen to the sound track...

Here's a review (kind of) :

Lire est un plaisir wrote:

Poursuivant leur campagne de résurrection des langues mortes (elles ont déjà fait paraître un Grec ancien sans peine et un Latin sans peine), les Éditions Assimil à Paris viennent de publier, sous la plume de l’orientaliste monégasque Jean-Pierre Guglielmi, L’Égyptien hiéroglyphique sans peine, un coffret qui propose aux apprenants débutants ou faux débutants une approche vivante de la langue égyptienne classique au travers d’extraits de contes, de « sagesses », de textes sacrés et de stèles autobiographiques. Dans la mesure où cette langue a connu plusieurs stades d'évolution au cours de ses trois millénaires d'histoire, l’auteur a choisi de traiter le « moyen égyptien », c'est-à-dire la langue de la littérature classique (d’environ 2200 à 1500 avant J.-C.) et d'un grand nombre d'inscriptions monumentales.
S’inscrivant dans la pédagogie intuitive de la célébrissime collection « Sans Peine », cette méthode de langue, fort originale à bien des égards, s’articule autour d’une progression grammaticale soigneusement développée en vue de favoriser l’apprentissage, d’exercices corrigés et de révisions systématiques pour consolider les acquis, de notes explicatives et de commentaires culturels abondants, d’un guide pour reproduire soi-même les hiéroglyphes à la main et de ce style humoristique propre à la collection et qui a fait l’une clé de son succès. L’ouvrage s’accompagne de quatre CD audio (dans lesquels les interprètes utilisent la prononciation conventionnelle) qui favorisent la mémorisation du vocabulaire et des structures de la langue. Une parution à marquer d’une pierre blanche (de Rosette, indeed !) et qui fera date !

Conventional pronunciation?

Since Egyptian didn't mark most vowels, the conventional way of pronunciation is to use 'e' except where a long
vowel indicates otherwise.

I'd love to leaf through the book... but not enough to mail-order it from France. Maybe a
preview will appear online, or maybe I will eventually be able to find it at my local
bookstore.
