The One Thing That Stops You From Learning Amharic Effectively is not mastering the Amharic alphabet first!
Many people tell me, “I started learning Amharic a long time ago.” But when I see them in action, they often struggle to read even a single Amharic word correctly.
They usually jump straight into listening exercises, memorizing grammar rules, or practicing daily phrases. While that enthusiasm is great, there’s one big problem: if you don’t know the Amharic alphabet (Fidel), everything else becomes confusing.
Without learning the letters first, listening becomes harder, reading is nearly impossible, and pronunciation feels like guesswork.
Why Learning the Alphabet Comes First
Think about it:
How can you read any Amharic word if you don’t know the letters?
As an online Amharic teacher, I see this mistake all the time. Students try to learn speaking skills or conversation lessons before mastering Fidel. But when they can’t read even simple words, it slows down their progress and makes teaching harder too.
The truth is, language learning must go step by step. And in the case of Amharic, the very first step is the alphabet.
The Benefits of Mastering the Amharic Alphabet
When you know the Fidel:
You can listen more effectively, because you can connect sounds to letters.
You can read Amharic texts and use study materials on your own.
Your pronunciation improves, because you recognize which specific letters give you trouble.
Guidance from teachers (or even from native speakers) becomes much clearer.
In short: once you master the alphabet, every other skill becomes easier.
“But Isn’t It Too Late for Me?”
Maybe you started learning Amharic years ago but quit early. Time passed, and now you feel regret:
“If only I had continued back then, I’d be fluent by now!”
Don’t worry. It’s not too late. What matters is what you do today.
Set clear goals and commit to them. Remember, ⌚ time will pass whether you learn or not. Wouldn’t it be better to use that time to finally achieve your goal?
