This beginner’s manual is an excellent source for traveling and basic conversation of the language of Amharic which is the most common language spoken in Ethiopia. This is a collection of colloquial phrases and words that were learned on my trips to Ethiopia. <br />What makes this manual great for beginners is that I have input understandable English phonetics for those that cannot read the alphabet yet; along with all the English translations from the most common and critical words and phrases.
