Amharic

A CD-ROM I ordered on basic Amharic (the official language of Ethiopia) arrived today.

I tried it out, but it's so different to anything I have tried to learn before. After having a go, I can recognise some of the numbers when I hear them, but can't remember them to say. I also got a little phrase book. There are about 100 different Arabic-looking characters in the writing.
