Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to learn Amharic?

No. You can start straight away in your browser. Logging in with an email is optional and simply syncs your progress across your devices.

Do I need to know the Amharic alphabet first?

No. The course starts by teaching the Ethiopic (fidel) script one letter at a time, with audio, before building into words and sentences.

Is there audio for Amharic?

Yes — every word and phrase plays a clear recorded audio clip, so you pick up real Amharic pronunciation from the start.

How long does it take to learn Amharic?

You learn at your own pace. Most lessons take just a few minutes, and a daily streak plus a built-in review system help the words stick.
