We are primarily involved in developing interactive multimedia programs that are used for general training, education, manuals, and advertisement of various products. We work in partnership with language experts, teachers, animators, and graphic artists to develop programs that are informative, user friendly, and most of all -fun to use.

First on the market -since 1996!

We are the first company to provide interactive Amharic tutorial programs in the world … and we have been perfecting it ever since. We developed the first program in 1996 with the help of former Amharic instructors and a multimedia producer. We have been improving and perfecting our programs for the past twelve years and counting. That is longer than any one of our competitors.

Our programs are developed from scratch with Amharic ONLY in mind.
