Every now and then, Coptic comes into the spotlight as was seen when the Gospel of Judas made its way to the front page news. Most works have focussed on the Sahidic dialect of Coptic, in which the Gospel of Judas and many of the other Gnostic texts have been written. This has left those trying to learn its much maligned cousin Bohairic with few resources to even get started. Bohairic remains the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and is of particular interest in those seeking to learn more about the Church or those in the Church seeking to learn more about themselves. With that in mind, this book does not assume that the reader has already become fluent in Greek, Syriac and Aramaic, or that the reader even has a commanding knowledge of English Grammar. On the contrary, 'So, you want to learn Coptic' is written in very clear easy to understand English and starts from the very basics, to make Bohairic Coptic easily accessible to all who would like to get to know it.
