Learning Basic Amharic Combo is comprised of 31 CDs or 2 DVDs containing 60 lessons. The course assumes the student has no prior knowledge of Amharic and is fully self-instructional.
The course starts by teaching introductions and greetings, such as 'Hello' and 'How are you?' and graduates to sentence structure and comprehension. With Learning Basic Amharic, your language skills will move beyond just trying to mimic a sentence or phrase, and gain true comprehension of the Amharic language with the correct intonation of native Amharic speakers.
