Great teaching app

Amazing app to start learning Amharic

Thank you!

This app has been amazing, truly helping me keep my Amharic skills sharp.

Not free like Duolingo!

There are better apps that don’t charge you after 3 mini lessons! Otherwise you’ll have to subscribe.

My daughter loves the app

My daughter has been using this for about two weeks now and she’s really been enjoying it. She sees it
as a game. She’s learning Amharic and we can practice together in person too

10/10

Amazing app, I can finally learn Amharic
