Create Free AccountAbout the Tigrinya Course
The Mesmer Tigrinya course teaches you Tigrinya (ትግርኛ) from English through 50+ short, interactive lessons organized into 15 themed units — from greetings and family to food, travel, and real conversations. Every word comes with native-speaker audio and a real example sentence, and you practice through matching, listening, translation, and fill-in-the-blank exercises with instant feedback.
Each lesson takes just a few minutes, so it fits into a daily routine. You earn XP for every lesson, build a daily streak, and unlock the next step on your path as you go — the same learning style as Duolingo, built specifically for Tigrinya.
New to the language? Pair the course with our free Tigrinya alphabet chart, the alphabet books, and the Geez Keyboard to read, write, and type Tigrinya on any device.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Tigrinya course free?
The first unit is completely free and you can start without an account. The full course is a one-time purchase of €49 with lifetime access — no subscription.
Do I need to know the Tigrinya alphabet first?
No. Every word is shown with its Latin pronunciation and audio, so you can start speaking right away. Learning the fidel alongside the course with our free alphabet chart will help you read Tigrinya too.
How long does a lesson take?
Most lessons take 3–5 minutes: you meet a handful of new words with audio and example sentences, then practice them with quick interactive exercises.
