EthioSpeak

EthioSpeak teaches the everyday phrases you need in five Ethiopian languages: Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Sidama, Tigrinya and Wolaytta. Each language has 2,500 phrases in 25 everyday topics, from greetings and family to the market, travel, health, farming and work. You learn them in 480 short lessons and 25 conversations, and every phrase can be heard. How it works Each lesson introduces a few new phrases, then asks you to recognise them by sight and by ear, choose the right one and build it from word tiles. A phrase you miss comes back at the end of the lesson. Reviews bring each phrase back just before you would forget it, so a few minutes a day are enough to keep what you have learned. The phrasebook lets you search every phrase in English, in the language's own script or in Latin letters. Amharic and Tigrinya are also shown in Latin letters, so you can start before you can read the script. Audio plays over the internet one phrase at a time, or you can download a language's audio and study offline. A daily goal, a streak and an optional daily reminder help you keep going. Save the phrases you want to keep, and choose a light or dark theme. Your account is optional You can use the whole app without an account. If you sign in with Google, your progress is kept safe and follows you to a new phone. You can delete your account at any time in Settings. Free, with no advertising and no tracking. The translations have been checked by native speakers. Pronunciation audio is generated with Meta's MMS speech models (CC BY-NC 4.0).
