Amharic Immersion
Home>>Amharic>Amharic Immersion Surrounding yourself with Amharic words and sounds and music will be the very best way to learn, trust us. We are looking into courses abroad at the moment, for example in the city of Addis Ababa, and will soon be able to recommend one or two.
Until then, feel free to do your best to immerse yourself where you live, using the following suggestions… for example, use a dictionary to print words like “table”, "door", "window", "kettle", "bed", "chair", "mirror" etc and stick them onto those items around the house. Over time these words will automatically become part of your vocabulary, without even trying to memorize them! You could also in time join some verbs, like eat, open/close, wash, boil, sleep, sit, look, etc so as to associate them with the objects. Try it! Internet freebies: Immerse yourself right away by... ~Listening to the radio abit each day and tune in your ears! ~Keeping up with the news each day! ~Looking up the weather each day! ~Keeping up with Ethiopian media! ~Using www.Google.com/intl/am/ instead of Google in English… ~Listening to Habisha music and looking for the lyrics to your favorite songs! For example: Here is a song sung by Gigi Shibabaw called Gud Fella. Her other songs are fantastic too!
