Learn Amharic & Fidel

Learn to read, write and speak Amharic, one short lesson a day. Qal teaches the everyday Amharic you'll actually use, from greetings and coffee to the market, the minibus and the family table. Fidel lessons are woven in along the way, so you can start speaking even before you can read. LEARN • 79 lessons in 27 units, with over 400 words and phrases: greetings, numbers and money, family, food and coffee, getting around, time and the calendar, animals, the body and health, weather, colours, shopping at the market, home and school, feelings, clothes, jobs, holidays, questions, and the past and future tenses • Four Fidel units that cover every character across all 34 rows and 7 orders • New-word cards, listening, multiple choice, typing in Latin letters (forgiving of accents and small typos), sentence building and matching pairs • Every word read aloud by a natural Amharic voice • Got one wrong? Tap "Why?" for a short explanation and a memory tip • A culture note in every unit • Already know some Amharic? Jump ahead to any unit SPEAK WITH AN AI TUTOR • Role-play real situations: coffee with a neighbour, bargaining at Merkato, a minibus to Bole, meeting the family, or a free chat about your day • Talk out loud: tap the microphone and speak, and the tutor answers in spoken Amharic • Replies in Fidel, transliteration and English, with gentle corrections and a suggested next reply • Tap "Explain" for a word-by-word breakdown of any reply • Ask anything about Amharic grammar, words or culture • A phonetic keyboard turns "selam" into Fidel letters as you type CHECK YOUR PRONUNCIATION • Say a word and get a score with a tip on how to sound more natural • Practise the words you've learned, eight at a time TRANSLATE • Translate between English and Amharic, typed in Fidel or Latin letters • Every result shows Fidel, transliteration, English and a short learner's tip • Your recent translations are saved so you can come back to them MASTER FIDEL • The full Fidel table, with homophone rows marked and the characters you know highlighted • A tracing pad that scores your handwriting • A 60-second speed round to build reading speed PRACTISE • Spaced-repetition review, so words come back just before you'd forget them • Tricky words, mixed practice and a searchable dictionary • Star any word to keep it in your favourites TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • XP, badges and a daily goal • Daily reminders at a time you choose Grammar adapts to you: choose masculine (ante), feminine (anchi) or polite (irswo) forms of "you".
