	OBOLENSKY,S., D. ZELELIE, M. ANDALEM, Spoken Amharic (Official Language of Ethiopia) . published by the Foreign Service Institute course. Audio Cassette Course. 30 tape cassetttes in 5 boxes. From the publisher's description: Amharic is a Semitic language, spoken by over 17 million people as a first language, and used as a lingua franca throughout much of central highland Ethiopia. Its status as a de facto national language is largely due to the long dominance of the Ethiopian monarchy by Amhara sovereigns. Amharic is written in a modified form of the partly syllabic, partly alphabetic script used to write Geez, the classical language of Christian Ethiopian. Though manuscripts in Amharic are known from the 14th century, the language has only recently been used as a general medium for literature, journalism, and education. Most of the courses in the Spoken Language Series were prepared originally by professional linguists under the aegis of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Linguistic Society of America. Cassettes are recorded by native speakers and cover conversations, pronunciation exercises, and TRUE-FALSE tests. Each word or phrase is spoken first in English and then twice in the language of the course, with a pause after each utterance to allow the listener to repeat and imitate. The cassettes can be used for practice without the text. If you truly want to learn and speak the Amharic language, this is an excellent instruction course. Grammatical explanations are given for the language content already learned. The learner gets systematic development of the linguistic structure instead of first learning a grammar and then trying to fit utterances into it. At the end of the course the learner should have a good grounding in everyday vocabulary, grammar, and usage, and be able to communicate with native speakers. [ SP ].
