So I'm learning Amharic at the moment, which is eye-opening from a resources point of view: you've got no Duolingo or most big apps, Google Translate doesn't have audio (& god knows what other issues). These technologies entrench global linguistic inequalities! And they can't do what tech promises!

The best way to learn Amharic is to get involved with an Ethiopian church

...or get a job at an airport, parking garage, or taxi depot in Washington, D.C
