## What is Habeshi?

First Amharic words, one pair at a time. Habeshi is a picture-pairs game for children aged 3–6. Match two pictures and hear the Amharic word whenever a card turns over. No reading is needed to play. The board starts small and grows with practice.

SEVEN WORD WORLDS
Animals, Family, Food, Colors, Numbers, Home and Nature: 136 words in total, each with its own drawing, Fidel spelling and a pronunciation guide based on German spelling conventions. Fidel is shown but never required to play.

TRY ANIMALS FOR FREE
The Animals world includes 28 free words. A single, non-consumable in-app purchase unlocks the six other included worlds. No subscription. Family Sharing is enabled. The current price appears in the parent area before purchase.

LISTEN AND PRACTICE TOGETHER
The Amharic voice is AI-generated with ElevenLabs, not recorded by a human. Audio files are included in the app. Playback needs no internet connection and sends nothing to a speech service.

MADE FOR FAMILIES
• No ads, account, tracking or analytics SDKs.
• Practice progress and settings stay on the device.
• Purchase and Restore Purchases are in the gated parent area.
• Parents can set a play-time limit.
• A practice overview reflects picture-pair activity. It does not assess whether your child can say a word independently.
• German and English menus. This version teaches Amharic only.

LEARN FOR YOURSELF, TOO
Adults can choose self-learner mode at first launch. It skips the guided first round and omits the PIN and play-time limit. The arithmetic challenge before the settings area remains.

Purchasing and restoring purchases require an internet connection through Apple's StoreKit.

Habeshi is made by a German-Ethiopian family. We want to make room for Amharic in everyday family life: listening, playing together and recognizing or trying a familiar word. No promises of fluency. At your family's pace.
