Amharic Phrases

I found this fabulous web site that has an easy to use reference for Amharic.  It was actually compiled by another adoption agency and their adoptive parents.  I'm so excited!!!  I'll be keeping this handy for sure!  If you want to learn a little amharic here's the link:  http://www.adoptionadvocates.org/ethiopia/faqs/FAQ_Amharic.
We actually bought an Amharic phrase book several months ago, but it has so much information I think this will be great for at least the first few weeks!  Yipee!

I tried the link and it says the page can not be found, double check it. Just thought I'd let you know. Let me know! I want to check it out. :)

I tried it again and it is the right link. Are you sure you typed it exactly right? I don't know how to link it right from my blog page, do you?

I had to take off the pdf attachment, go to the website and then open the PDF myself- it worked though- I guess you just have to be a computer genius to figure it out... MEl- feel free to call me and I will assist you. It is an awsome resource although I didn't find the phrase "favorite aunt"...hmm...
