Stuck for Christmas gift ideas? This series of books could be just what you're looking for. They're ideal for an older relative that you can't think of what to give them. Interested? Read on... Stimulate your brain by learning Shavian. The perfect gift for someone who always wanted to learn a new language, but never had enough time. Learning to read and write English using the Shaw Alphabet (also known as the Shavian Alphabet) is an easier way to keep your mind active than learning a foreign language. Once you have mastered it, you can write messages to yourself that most other people will not understand! Get your partner to learn it too, and the two of you can pass almost-secret messages to each other! Amaze and confound your friends (and enemies) as you pretend to be a spy! This is the second in a series of three books to help you learn to read and write English using the Shaw Alphabet. This book contains sixty short practice texts (each 200 to 250 words long and written using the Shaw Alphabet) that you can transcribe into Roman letters, helping you learn to read Shavian letters. The texts correspond directly with texts in Book Three (written in the Roman alphabet), so you can check your work against the contents of that book.
