User reviews

Great

Great app to learn pronunciation and word but I don’t know abt the slangs yet

Written alphabet

Basically words must have been written in Amharic alphabet, not Latin alphabet!

Great!

love this app, great for learning from scratch and it’s really interactive too! It helped me pick up a new language really quickly and the way it’s designed make learning a new language so much more fun! The icons are also super cute and thoughtful.

Great app

Helped a lot and really easy to use.

Good

A good start. Much better than other apps on offer. Needs more grammar lessons at the beginning, along with sentence construction exercises to use new vocabulary.
