Academic Goals

Advanced Beginner Amharic II is the continuation of Elementary Amharic I. The class builds upon the basic skills studied during the previous semester by focusing more on verb conjugations, prepositions, adjectives, and direct and indirect object pronouns and the future tense. Upon completion of Amharic II, students should be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations on a range of everyday topics. The students should also expect to advance their reading and writing skills.

This class is available to individuals who have a basic knowledge of Amharic and are familiar with its alphabet, basic grammar and sentence structure. In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. The students will be expected to purchase the course materials.The class will take a Mid-Term at week 6-7, depending upon the material covered thus-far.  The week after the Mid-Term we will learn the past tense.

While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in both the present and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.You may contact ross@dcinternationals.com

There will be a $25 late fee for course registration after classes begin.
