Tigrinya–English Picture Dictionary
I was browsing the web when I found an excellent new e-book entitled: “Tigrinya – English Picture Dictionary” by eritreanrefugees.org. It’s primarily designed for native Tigrigna speakers who want to learn English, but it can work in both directions. Also since it’s a picture dictionary you get to see images of the things/descriptions/actions that are being translated and [...]

“I can count in… English and Tigrinya”
This is a children’s book dedicated to teaching English and Tigrinya numbers. The authors just contacted me by email so I have little-more information about the book, but it seems cute and fitting for kids; a lot more friendly then the (never-ending) counting drills/exercises that I had to do as a child.

The “ምግቢ ቢራሚድ”?
Maybe the writer meant “ምግቢ ፒራሚድ,” but now I can’t get the image of some sort of food/beer/pyramid thing out of my head……ah well. To get right to the point, I made this post to give you another English/Tigrinya pamphlet link. This one is about the food pyramid and it has the Tigrinya translation directly [...]

Randomize it.
There has been a small update to the dictionary section; it is the addition of a “random button” beside the search one. This button should take you to a random English-Tigrigna dictionary entry. Give it a shot.
