  • This is what I’ve been searching for!!

    I have been trying to learn Amharic via online resources (and the help of my boyfriend who is a native speaker) only to find exactly what Luana did, that there is no quality learning resources available.

    Finally I found this podcast which is what I’ve been telling people I needed for months! It is clear, concise, accurate and comprehensive and the website is a helpful addition as well :) I’m even just glad to know there’s another non Ethiopian who has learned Amharic successfully and conversati... more

  • Starts to fill a gaping hole for Amharic learners

    This podcast is excellent. There is a lot of material out there for beginners in Amharic, and of course plenty for fluent/native-level speakers. But, unlike for most languages that are more commonly studied, there is almost nothing in between. Buna break Amharic starts filling that gap. Much recommended for anyone who wants to practice beyond the basics.
