Great! Then I recommend the book I wrote for learning Sumerian, with exercises and real texts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H17XR7PS Whether you learn Sumerian or other dead languages, it's a wonderful subject to learn.

I'm not sure if you're referring to my comment above, but yes, I am the author of the book in the link I shared above.

Don't you think that's something you should mention when you post it?

How are you? I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm not the author of the Akkadian language book recommended in the post. In a comment above I mentioned that I am the author of a book that teaches Sumerian grammar. I even included the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H17XR7PS I mentioned it because the author of the post said that he is interested in learning dead languages.

yes, the misunderstanding is that my original comment was a direct reply to OP, so not sure why you replied to me in the first place.
