8910 (United Kingdom) (2007/09/21): T'ena Y'istill'in! Do you want to learn the ancient Amharic language? This was a very expensive book and tape set when I bought it. It remains the best textbook available for complete beginners. The tapes are essential, for pronunciation. The book gives you the option of learning the Amharic syllabary (for writing) in which case you pick up proficiency while working through the rest of the book, or avoiding this and going straight into oral learning.
