🔠 Learn the Amharic Alphabet (Fidel ፊደል)
Unlock Ethiopia’s Ancient Script — A Living Heritage
Learning the Amharic alphabet, known as Fidel (ፊደል), is one of the most fascinating and rewarding experiences on your journey to fluency. Unlike most alphabets that simply use letters, Fidel is a syllabary, where each symbol represents a consonant+vowel combination. With over 230 unique characters, it’s a script that beautifully captures the sounds of the language.
✨ Why learn Fidel?
Fidel is the foundation of Amharic. Once you can read and write the script, you’ll recognize street names, shop signs, restaurant menus, and important notices wherever you go in Ethiopia.
For second-generation Ethiopians, mastering Fidel is a profound way to reconnect with family letters, children’s books, church texts, and cultural proverbs that are passed down through generations.
It lets you appreciate Ethiopian art, manuscripts, and inscriptions found on everything from monuments to traditional religious scrolls.
📖 What makes our alphabet program special?
Step-by-step mastery: We start by teaching you the seven forms of each consonant (called orders or “sadis”), helping you understand how vowels modify each base shape. This makes the system intuitive and breaks down any intimidation.
Visual & auditory pairing: You’ll see and hear each symbol pronounced by native speakers, so you learn not just how to read it, but how to say it correctly.
Writing practice: In live classes, we guide you through tracing and writing Fidel, improving your muscle memory and building confidence to read and write on your own.
Real examples: We quickly move from individual letters to short words like ሰላም (selam — peace), ቤት (bet — house), and እኔ (ene — I/me), so you feel progress from the first week.
Cultural touches: Learn common Amharic proverbs or song lyrics using Fidel to see how the script carries everyday wisdom and joy.
🌟 Learning Fidel is more than learning symbols — it’s discovering the art and soul of Ethiopia.
Our supportive, interactive method ensures you read and write with skill, curiosity, and pride.

Adopted officially in the 1990s after generations of oral tradition and scattered writing systems, Qubee now unites millions of Oromo speakers and makes learning to read and write Afaan Oromoo straightforward and enjoyable.
🌍 Why learn Qubee?
Qubee makes it easy for travelers, investors, and foreign employees to pick up functional reading and writing quickly — helping you navigate signs, forms, and local communication with ease.

It opens doors to Oromo newspapers, modern literature, and social media, connecting you with vibrant Oromo perspectives.
🖊 What’s different about our approach?

Writing practice: Live sessions include guided handwriting exercises so you learn to shape letters neatly, whether for notes, signs, or texts.

🅰️ Learn the Tigrigna Alphabet (Fidäl ፊደል)
Experience the Poetry and Depth of Tigrigna Through Its Script
Tigrigna uses the same ancient Ge’ez-derived Fidel script as Amharic but adapts it to capture the distinctive sounds and flow of Tigrigna. This means when you learn Tigrigna Fidel, you’re also stepping into centuries of shared cultural artistry, religious texts, and social storytelling across the Horn of Africa.
📝 Why learn the Tigrigna alphabet?
It’s essential for reading Tigrigna books, newspapers, community announcements, and personal letters. From family updates to local news, Fidel keeps you connected.
