Dear Denise,
Coptic is like any other language. Listening to it forms a fundamental
part of the language. I believe it would make it easier to your memory
to have the language read & heard.

Educational CD
Otherwise, if you live in Egypt: you may go to the Institute of Coptic
Language, (Old Bohairic section), 222 Ramsis street, to have courses or
just buy tapes or CDs.
You may also listen to some hymns & chants in Greco-Bohairic at
http://www.alhan.org or http://www.tasbeha.com

Greetings,
I am a beginner in Coptic, entering this field with no previous
knowledge whatsoever. I have a few questions about beginning this
independent language study. Should (or can) Coptic be studied strictly
as a written language only? How important is it to hear the language
as opposed to just reading it? If hearing it is important to acquiring
it, where can I get materials for listening?
Denise
