Bennu says:


There are a lot of links here and can be a bit overwhelming. I suggest printing off a copy of the Manuel de Codage chart as this is useful when using a computer to study hieroglyphs.
If, on the other hand, you're interested in learning how to write hieroglyphs I recommend printing out Jenny Carrington's Hieroglyphic Stroke Order. It is very important to learn a stroke order and stick to it otherwise your writing is inconsistant and difficult to read.
Joining an online discussion group such as AEL is also a very good way to learn the ancient Egyptian language.
