Do You Need the Amharic Alphabet to Speak Amharic?

Can You Learn Amharic Without Knowing the Alphabet?

The answer is yes! Yes, you can still learn to speak Amharic without knowing the alphabet (Fidel). Many people start with listening and speaking, focusing on common words and phrases. This approach allows you to engage with the language in a practical way, making conversation easier and more intuitive.

However, I strongly recommend learning the Amharic alphabet as well. It’s the key to reading Amharic resources and learning independently without depending on others. The good news is that with dedication, you can learn the Fidel in less than two weeks! Serious learners often start with the Fidel because it sets a strong foundation for all aspects of the language.
