❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers to common questions about Ge’ez, learning resources, and our educational mission.

---

🔹 What is Ge’ez?

Ge’ez is the classical liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. It was once the spoken language of ancient Ethiopia and remains central to our scripture, worship, and identity. Ge’ez is a sacred tongue — like Latin, Hebrew, or Greek.

---

🔹 Why should I learn Ge’ez today?

Learning Ge’ez connects you to the faith, history, and wisdom of our ancestors. It unlocks deep meaning in the Bible, hymns, and Ethiopian manuscripts. Studying Ge’ez is a spiritual journey that strengthens your Orthodox foundation.

---

🔹 Is Ge’ez hard to learn?

Not with the right guidance! While Ge’ez uses a unique script (Fidel), it follows clear patterns. Our lessons are beginner-friendly and designed to help anyone — from children to elders — understand the alphabet, grammar, and scriptures at their own pace.
