Speaking Amharic
Why speak Amharic from day one
The sounds, rhythm and word order of Amharic stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Amharic speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.
Amharic is written in the Ge'ez script. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it, so the writing system is never a wall in front of speaking.

Amharic questions, answered
Can I learn Amharic for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach Amharic speaking?
Every Amharic sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise Amharic?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any Amharic already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday Amharic sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
What script does Amharic use?
Amharic is written in the Ge'ez script. You do not have to master it before you start. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it.
