There is not much out there in the world of audio lessons, when it comes to this excuisite language. But here is what we have found and what everyone thinks of them.

Amharic for Adoptive Families Simple-Amharic-for-Adoptive-Families (Book and Audio CD) has a 5* rating and although not the best for travellers to Ethiopia it is very good for getting used to the sound of the language and learning key/essential phrases. The text is also suitable for those with not-so-great eyesight, since Ethiopian scripts can be hard to distinguish otherwise. This book is especially designed and effective for parents adopting an Ethiopian child.

Colloguial Amharic Audio lessons LLL rates this one is the best! Colloquial Amharic CD: The Complete Course for Beginners (Colloquial Series) is the best deal out there on MP3/Audio CD. A step-by-step approach to writing and speaking skills. As this is a CD only though, ideally it is meant to go along with the Colloquial Amharic book. Please see our Amharic Book section for that.

Amharic FSI Volume 1 FSI Level 1 Text Book and MP3 Audio CD (Foreign Service Institute African Language Series, Volume 1)

and also


Amharic FSI Volume 2 FSI Level 2 Text Book and MP3 Audio CD (Foreign Service Institute African Language Series, Volume 2). The editorial review for this shows it to be methodical, with the ultimate goal being to teach the learner to speak accurately and easily through vocabulary building, conversational dialogs, and grammar sections; by guided imitation, memorization, and manipulation of a large number of sentences and by practice of common everyday situations. Included is a printed book and an audio MP3 CD. If you would like to save money we recommend you look into the CD-ROM version of this course, which combines volumes 1 & 2. Please see our Amharic Software section for that.

Amharic Cassettes Amharic-Basic-Course/Book and 26 Cassettes FSI also has made this highly rated 5* product available... with 501 pages and 26 audio cassettes. The audio lessons are well spaced for repetition and optimum pronunciation practice. Stimulating teaching methods keep even the advanced student engaged.

In addition, some of FSI's audio lessons are available for free on the web, as you see below.

Here are free audio lessons, provided by FSI...Unit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. You will also need the text that goes along with the audio units here. These may take some time to upload but do be patient! All good things come to those who wait!
