Writing & Reading TIGRINYA is a book that will teach you how to read and write the Tigrinya alphabet. Here is what you will get out of this book:

• You will learn the correct pronunciation of the alphabets using two different phonetic methods
• Learn how to write in Tigrinya using simple guides
• And, learn new vocabulary words

Here is a short explanation of how this book is arranged. To the left, we have a page torn out of the book. The left page of each page looks similar to this. On the right side of the page, you get to practice writing out the alphabets. If you run out of space, you can order refill pages from our safe and secure web site(that will simply snap in).

The page to the left means the following:

1. Typed or printed
2. Pronunciation guide which is described in detail with examples on Page 3
3. Handwritten Tigrinya. Used as an example to improve your penmanship. Remember that this is only one person's way of writing
4. Commentary notes by the authors
5. Writing guide. The pen indicates where to start, and what motion to follow without raising your pen/pencil from the paper
6. Words that include the alphabet that you are studying. This will help you learn new Tigrinya words.
7. Another way of learning the correct pronunciation of each Tigrinya alphabet

Writing & Reading TIGRINYA is a soft cover booklet with 80 pages. You can purchase refill pages separately. Though this is a stand-alone book, it will help you greatly when you start learning how to write in Tigrinya 102.
