Each chapter starts with a detailed description of vocabulary and usage in Amharic followed by dialogues between two native Mandarin speakers. You will know exactly how everything is pronounced. It is the best of both worlds! The book accompanying this podcast can be found on Amazon under "DALU: Introduction to Chinese for Amharic Speakers" by Lina Getachew Ayenew
