Short daily lessons in Amharic and English. Read fidel, hear real recordings, hold your streak. Five lessons free, no account, works offline. Lisan is a language app for beginners and returning learners. Kito, your guide within the app, introduces each lesson and helps you move through the course at a comfortable pace. During setup, you choose a language and tell Lisan how much you already know. Lisan then recommends a starting path covering everyday conversation, letters, Ethiopian culture, or numbers. Lessons are built for short study sessions and can be revisited at any time. AUDIO YOU CAN TRUST Every recording is reviewed for pronunciation before it reaches a lesson. Amharic words, phrases, and base letters are recorded by a native speaker. The full fidel grid and the English course use a reviewed studio voice. WHAT IS INCLUDED • Seven Letter Garden lessons that introduce Fidel one sound at a time. • Four Counting Trail lessons covering numbers from 1 to 20. • Three greeting lessons with polite words and phrases for everyday conversations. • Color Market for learning common color vocabulary. • Animal Trail for listening and vocabulary practice. • Family Picnic, where you arrange words to build a complete Amharic sentence. • 17 Amharic lessons with 72 questions in total. • A starter English course of 10 listening lessons for Amharic speakers and anyone building practical English. LEARNING PATHS Choose a learning path based on your interests: • Everyday conversation • Fidel foundations • People and culture • Guided foundations • Numbers You can change your focus as you continue learning, and each course keeps its own lessons and progress. PROGRESS AND DAILY LEARNING See the current Ethiopian date and traditional Ethiopian time from the Home screen. Set a daily goal and earn XP for every lesson you finish. Track completed lessons, earned stars, learned words, and your current streak. The Practice studio brings back what you have already learned with a short review, and shows how strong each skill has become. Progress is stored directly on your device. No account or sign up is required, and Lisan does not display advertising. WHO LISAN IS FOR Lisan is for people learning Amharic for family, travel, heritage, everyday conversation, or personal interest, and for Amharic speakers who want practical English.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

- A starter English course joins Amharic. Pick a language at setup or switch any time from the Home screen, and each course keeps its own lessons and progress. - XP and a daily goal. Finish a lesson, earn XP, and watch your streak hold. - A new Practice studio. Return to what you have already learned with a short review, and see how strong each skill has become. - A refreshed look across the app, with a new icon and a calmer palette for long sessions. - Clearer audio labels. The app now says which recordings are a native speaker and which use a reviewed studio voice, so you always know what you are hearing. - Fixes: the English course no longer falls back to an American voice over British recordings, and listening questions no longer show two buttons for the same clip.
