This document contains a real student’s Amharic vocabulary note, over 300 words—which I am sharing as a learning resource for anyone studying Amharic. Along with the note, I have pointed out the recurring mistakes it contains so that you can recognize and remove the same patterns from your own notes and speech.
On May 7, I asked students to collect all the Amharic words they had learned and send them to me. A few dedicated students did exactly that. Among them, one student sent a note with over 300 Amharic words—which is genuinely impressive.
But the notes also showed common mistakes many English speakers make when writing Amharic with Latin letters.
The first mistake: most of them write Amharic words using Latin letters.
Bad spelling trains your brain to learn wrong pronunciation. Later, your speech may sound unnatural or uncertain.
Writing Amharic in English letters is okay, especially for beginners.
But you must write the sounds correctly.
The good news: these mistakes are very common and easy to fix.
