## What is Gelada?

Learn to read the Amharic and Ge'ez alphabet, one friendly row at a time.

Gelada teaches Fidel, the script used for Amharic, Tigrinya and Ge'ez: 33 base letters, 7 vowel forms each, 231 syllables in all. You meet a row, hear every sound, trace the letters with your finger, and a short spaced review brings back the ones you forget.

HOW IT WORKS
- Trace each letter on top of a faint guide. Gelada checks how much of the letter you covered and whether you stayed on it, right on your device.
- Hear every syllable, at normal or slow speed, and pick the sound you heard.
- Short lessons group letters by shape and sound. Letters that sound alike (the twin sounds) are taught last, so they do not tangle early on.
- A seven-box review schedule brings each letter back just before you forget it. A miss comes back in ten minutes.
- The Chart shows all 33 x 7 letters and fills in as you learn, so you can see what is left.
- Dega, a young Ethiopian wolf, keeps you company.

FREE TO START, PAY ONCE
Download is free. Lessons 1 to 4 are free with no trial and no timer. One purchase, Complete Fidel, unlocks lessons 5 to 12 and every syllable. No subscription, no ads, no account.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
Everything works without a connection. Your progress stays on your device. Gelada has no sign-in, no analytics and no tracking.

GOOD TO KNOW
- The sounds are played by a synthetic Amharic voice built into the app. They are a study aid, not a native speaker recording.
- Tracing checks your shape, not the stroke order.
- Your progress is stored on this device only. Deleting the app deletes it.

Made for learners, heritage families and anyone curious about the Ethiopian script.
