(click any image to enlarge) Simple Amharic This course gives you useful phrases in Amharic. Important stuff like "I am your Mommy" and "Please don't go potty in your pants." Seriously, there are some really helpful phrases in here. If only we could pronounce 'em! Our new CD arrived yesterday, so Loren and I spent some time last night listening and trying to repeat some phrases that might come in handy with our new kids. Simple? There's nothing simple about it. Consider the dangers of sounding like you know Amharic when in Ethopia. We laughed harder than we have in years at the thought of the following scene. Ethiopian stranger: "Oh, thank goodness--you speak Amharic. Can you point us to the US Embassy?" Back to: Adoption blog We're having a lot of laughs trying to learn with our "Simple Amharic for Adoptive Families" CD.
Us: "You are going to live with us. Please don't go potty in your pants."
