First-Year Amharic, First Quarter

Catalog description

This is a four-unit introductory Amharic language course for students with little or no experience studying the Amharic language. The primary focus is developing communicative skills in Amharic through listening, speaking, reading, and writing basic grammatical structures. The course emphasizes the development of communicative functionality and competence through active language use; hence, classes will be geared towards real experience in spoken Amharic. This makes class participation an essential component of the course.
