Welcome to Lesson Five!
This is our last Amharic alphabet lesson. In this lesson, we will learn 9 letters, starting from ከ (ke) to ፐ (Pe). As always, we will practice reading Amharic by forming short Amharic words at the end.
First, we will read the letters one by one, and then we will move on to word building. So, please make sure to repeat after me and watch this video until the end.
But before that, please consider liking this video and subscribing to the channel. Thank you so much!
You’ll learn reading now. So, let’s practice reading Amharic by making short words:
