This app can help you learn and practice the vocabulary and grammar you'll need to read and write Amharic! If you are not yet familiar with the alphabet, I recommend searching for the Amharic Fidel app. Full Course Mode uses our unique algorithm to make sure you practice each word in various modalities.

Amharic is one of the official languages of Ethiopia, together with other regions like Oromo, Somali, Afar, and Tigrinya. Amharic is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Southwest Semitic group and is related to Ge'ez, or Ethiopic, the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox church. Amharic is written in a slightly modified form of the alphabet used for writing the Ge'ez language. There are 34 basic characters, each of which has seven forms depending on which vowel is to be pronounced in the syllable.
