memory lesson- Amharic language

I am currently teaching myself, my son, and a friend how to read and write Amharic (one of many official languages of Ethiopia).
I have made work sheets galore, but today I had a little fun. I originally made this project for the friend I am teaching, but found Zeru and myself quite enjoying it too!
I made 2 sets of small flash card style cards. One set had just the word, and the other set had an image with the word typed small beside it.

The original idea was a memory card game, but found that we could also just shuffle and match them, or play a type of "go-fish" with them if other friends were learning (or knew) Amharic.

I hope to get the card templates up soon. This also would be a fun game for English (native) language for pre-schoolers learning to read, or with any foreign language. Just change the words- obviously.

I found myself actually learning and enjoying it- so maybe others will too!
