Biggest challenges for Amharic speakers learning English
If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Amharic speakers when they learn English.
- •Amharic is SOV — the verb always comes at the end, opposite to English
- •Amharic uses the Ge'ez script — completely different from the Latin alphabet
- •Amharic has no articles — 'a', 'an', and 'the' must be learned from scratch
- •English consonant clusters are unusual in Amharic syllable structure
Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
