This dictionary is designed to help non-English-speaking Eritrean

immigrants newly arrived to the United States, to begin to recognize
and pronounce English words.

Common nouns, verbs, adjectives and interrogatives are

included.
No attempt is made to teach grammar or sentence structure.
Tigrinya script (GEEZ), being a phonetic alphabet, is utilized
for providing pronunciation of the English word.
Common American pronunciation is utilized.
The reader is reminded that English does not use a phonetic
alphabet. The pronunciation provided here is phonetically
accurate, except, for example, as noted below.
Not all sounds in English can be rendered in GEEZ, just as
all sounds in Tigrinya cannot be presented by the English
alphabet. In particular, GEEZ does not closely pronounce:

A as in CAP
OO as in BOOK
O as in DOG
TH as in THING
We have reproduced these as closely as possible with
GEEZ characters. We have used TH itself, in order to help
the user recognize where this special sound must be used.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome. These can be sent to:
Mail@EritreanRefugees.org Please see the copyright notice in each section.
