Welcome back to another Season of Bereka Buna. In these next ten episodes we’ll continue to solidify your language and cultural learning by expanding on your vocabulary, knowledge of grammar, and familiarity with spoken and narrative Amharic. As with previous seasons you will have practice exercises, dialogue, and stories to help you deep-dive into the language. Let’s kick off the season by looking at some elements of Amharic culture and language that are quite unique to Ethiopia: the telling of time, the Ethiopian Calendar and holidays.
