I have recently taken up studying new languages. Not new like some shit language never spoken before but a language I don’t currently speak.  As an Afrikan in the diaspora it was important to me that this language be a non-colonial, Afrikan language.  For all I hear about how beautiful french or spanish is, it just does not connect me to anything I deem more important than a connection to Afrika.

The two languages I am working on at this time are Amharic (Ethiopia) and Kiswahili (Kenya, Tanzania).  In my Amharic studies I have had to learn an ancient alpahabet, feedel, known as ge’ez.  This online aid has proved most helpful.

The background music fades out when the woman begins the feedel.
