Learn and Practise Reading the Shaw Alphabet (Shavian) is a practical introduction to George Bernard Shaw’s visionary alternative to English spelling.
Designed for absolute beginners, this book guides you step by step through the Shavian alphabet — from the first letters, to full words, to playful poems and story extracts presented entirely in Shavian. Each lesson builds confidence with exercises, examples, and familiar sayings you’ll recognise in their new script.
Inside you’ll find:
-
Clear explanations of all 48 Shavian characters.
-
Progressive lessons with practice texts.
-
Classic proverbs, pangrams, and verse to read in Shavian.
-
Story extracts to test your reading fluency
Whether you’re a language enthusiast, a fan of Shaw, or simply curious about alternative writing systems, this book is a hands-on way to explore one of the most intriguing scripts of the 20th century.
Discover how English looks — and feels — when written with Shavian efficiency!
