إنت ليه عامل هنا كلمة كامى على خلفية لأرض شرقانة

[Admin]

معاك حق هغير الشعار ده قريب

[ameer_c2001]

لان مصر عايزه تتروي باللغه القبطيه
بالعكس اعتقد ان الصوره تعبر جدً
ولكن يا حبذا لو تعمل يا ادمن فلاش وتحطوا , فلاش يكون فيوا صوره الارض المتشققه وفلاش تكون فيوا الارض حضراء , وبنص الفلاش يتكتب " بالقبطي " احياءً للغه القبطيه "


وربنا يباركك على مجهودك الذي تبذلها

[Admin]

للأسف انا معرفش اعمل فلاش خالص

و بعدين صحيح اللغة خلاص يتموت بفضل اللفظ الحديث لكن احسن تشوف شعار يديك امل من انك تشوف شعار ينكد عليك

[ameer_c2001]

شوف يا باشا
انا اعرف زميل في منتدى ممكن يعملنا فلاش
انا حكلمه لما اشوفوا اون لاين
بس انت ابعثلي الصور الي عايزها
او حطها هنا


اوجاي خين ابتشويس

مفيش داعي نتعبة افرض انها معجبتنش هتكسف اقوله صلحها

 هو مش شغال عندي
انا هحاول اعمل حاجة كويسة بس  الاقي شوية و قت

well, I would like to help
Unfortunately I can't make to the ma3had, because I'm not in Egypt. I am not in the US for my masters. Sadly said, I am the only Egyptian here where I live (or at least I have not met any Egyptians yet). Maybe we can work together for now, and I will be in Egypt by Christmas. We can meet in December, but I would be happy if we can start working from now.

I have a few ideas to add for the site:
1- There are many coptic sites out there. If you want the site to succeed, you have to stand out of the croud: make it more attractive! Use side frames for the main sections of the website for example.
flash, flash and flash. i know that you mentioned that you dont know how to create them, neither do I, but maybe it's time to start creating some animation. You know, those other websites remind me of my 'analog electrical circuits design' book .  boring! I am against the opinion that says that only the academic quality of the contents is the most important thing. If we want the language to spread, let's make the difference!

2- I have not seen before any coptic music sheets. Maybe if you know someone who can write them and then get them published.

3- let's start writing a tutorial to teach coptic!

4- Maybe you should include several words with their old pronunciation and the new one. I believe that when a student gets to hear them both, it will be easier to recognize the difference.

I have other ideas, but I guess that the best thing is to focus over organizing the website first.

[Admin]

Wow, that was a lot of suggestions
Thank you for taking time to write them for us
here is my comments about your suggestions
1. Side frames is a good idea, Should be easy to implement
flash on the other hand is very important as you said but I can't implement it as I said
2. I don't know any musician expert who can do that
3. Tutorial would be cool I thought of this idea, but here is what we need
Flash developers and/or some artists (any body?)
4. Good idea, I will consider this one to be done soon

hey, i have a good idea:
maybe we're not able to make flash animations, but still we can achive what we want... through a game!
check this: http://www.adventuremaker.com/

see its demo video on the welcome page. It's an easy game development tool, no prior knowledge is required.
I guess a game will make the learning process much more attractive and I believe that we can spread the language that way. maybe we should see who is interested to help (i am, as long as my studies are ok).

Maybe we should start making a stroy board for the game. a simple idea would be "a boy from modern Egypt got trapped in a time machine phenomenon that takes him 2000 years back. he finds himself in Egypt, but the people are speaking a language that he can not understand. Miraculously, he finds someone who can speak arabic, and that someone kinda adopts him and starts teaching him the language in order to make him able to survive the situation"

how about that? and the game would include exercise (like puzzles) to test the student's progress. Every certain puzzles passed, the player moves onto the next level. Of course we would need to add more suspense to the story, it should get more sophisticated, just to keep the player interested for going onto the next levels (more action like a bad ruler who is trying to chase the boy, maybe he gets kidnapped and uses his language skills to evade the kidnappers...etc)


please tell me what do you think.

[Admin]

the idea is very good
but I was kind of hoping that the program will generate flash games
instead it generate games that users need to download (most users tries to void that because they fear viruses)
By the way, I made the idea you suggested about making comparison between Old/New pronunciation
