MODERN ASSYRIAN READING COMPREHENSION PASSAGES

MODERN ASSYRIAN READING COMPREHENSIONMATTI PHILLIPS KHOSHABA ALBAZIIntroductionThese passages are excerpts taken from the Chaldo-Syrio-Assyrian language (2011)printed at Medius Corporation, San Jose, Ca, USA ISBN 978 978 -0-578-06331-7/ 9780578063317 .I was also able to put the glossary after each passage so that the learner is able to goback and forth to focus on the form and meaning together, seeking comprehension in the context.The Arabic Language translation of the same passage may help learner to learn throughthe Arabic language which is already mastered at schools, a scaffold that eventually will helplearners to go up higher through stages in their own time by learning through comparison.At the end, I put a small new English alphabetically arranged dictionary of the samewords in the Appendix to track easily by the learners who have masteed English, a scaffold tolearn by comparison.I hope this material is helpful to satisfy your desire to learn this Modern Assyrian language to thebest ability and on your own pace. I wish you success.Matti Phillips Khoshaba Al-BaziAssociate professorوَبٌه ظَىه قهطهقرِغ سرٌيَبَا دبَز2
