That writing looks almost like a fictional ancient script!

[linguafiqari]

It's an amazing script! I remember when I first saw it thinking it looked almost like a runic script.

[EliasPitts]

so where exactly does this language come from?

[OmegaGmaster]

Ethiopia.

[EliasPitts]

oh, thanks!

[OmegaGmaster]

That's awesome! I've always been fascinated by the Amharic script. I'm trying to learn it but it is insane! Too much for my poor head.

[linguafiqari]

Have you tried out my website?

[OmegaGmaster]

I don't believe I have. Does it teach the script?

[linguafiqari]

www.learn-amharic.com

Yeah. I'm updating it at the moment so what you see here isn't the latest version

[Woof.]

Have you applied to contribute to a course teaching Amharic? And is your website free?

[Woof.]

Awesome, and awesome! I hope they reply to you soon :)

[linguafiqari]

Yes, and yes.
