About the Course

As your instructor, I am excited to guide you on a comprehensive journey to master Amharic Sign Language. We will start with the basics, learning the alphabet and numerical signs, which are the building blocks of this beautiful language. From there, we will progress to constructing simple phrases, enabling you to begin communicating basic ideas effectively. My approach is hands-on and interactive, ensuring that you gain practical skills from the very beginning. In the second part of our course, we'll dive deeper into the nuances of Amharic Sign Language. We'll explore how to express complex thoughts and emotions, and I'll introduce you to the rich tapestry of deaf culture. Understanding this culture is crucial as it shapes the communication styles and behaviors within the deaf community. By the end of this course, you will not only be able to converse using signs but also appreciate the cultural context that informs and enriches every interaction.
