Product Description

Voices woven through staccato rhythms lead you to a narrow alley. Laughter flows from beneath a door. It opens to a kaleidoscope of sound and color, led by an azmari singing a song of invitation. A waiter smiles as you glance in the book - you order a bira and some ocholoni. The day had started with a mountain-top view of the Blue Nile and now the vibrant city nightlife takes you in...

Our phrasebooks give you a comprehensive mix of practical and social words and phrases in more than 120 languages. Chat with the locals and discover their culture - a guaranteed way to enrich your travel experience.

This book serves as a wonderful vocabulary reference!5
I have been studying Amharic for years and I find this book to be very useful. It not only serve as a good phrase guide but also as a great vocabulary reference book. I am using the book to study Amharic from English but I have many Ethiopian friends who are using this book to study English from the Amharic. As far as teaching Amharic grammar(sentence structuring), I didn't find the book helpful. If you're looking for a book to build your Amharic vocabulary, this book is wonderful.

Would Recommend4
This compact guide is perfect for your purse and travel. It concisely contains enough for some basic language to get around. It is a little pricey, but gets the job done.
