Lonely Planet Ethiopian Amharic Phrasebook & Dictionary 4 Paperback – April 18, 2017

The most important thing I needed from this book was the section on grammar, but that entire section is written in English. How on earth can someone learn a language if it is completely transliterated into a different language. I can not learn the proper pronunciation of any of the words in the Grammar section since none of it is actually written in Amharic. Additionally, the first transliterated Amharic word I show my Ethiopian wife is wrong. She can't even figure out what their trying to say. I think there may be some useful words in here, in the non-grammar sections where they start using actual Amharic letters, but I'm worried they'll be misspelled as well.**Update** I am still disappointed in the lack of Amharic in the grammar section, but after digging into the later chapters, I have found an abundance of useful phrases. The book is organized very well. I can tell the writers put forth a tremendous amount of effort to produce a knowledgeable product, so I am giving a better review now. Still, the transliteration throughout drives me nuts.
