Talk Like an Egyptian
In High School I got a kick out of telling people “I speak Egyptian!” Back then people assumed I meant ancient Egyptian, not Arabic (though at the time I did not in fact speak the Egyptian dialect, but it was still fun to say), and we’d all have a good laugh. Ok, I’d have a good laugh, but then if it weren’t for me laughing I’d be an extremely dour kinda guy. Jokes aside I’ve decided to learn ancient Egyptian, specifically Hieroglyphics, because they’re just darn cool. Look deep inside yourself and tell me that when you saw Mummy (or Mummy Returns if you’re a true man!) you did not think “Dang I wish I could read the book of life and find a cute archaeologist.” Ya, I didn’t think you could. So I’ve started learning, and man does the linguist in me love it.
