the ability to read and understand easy texts in ancient Ethiopic
Ancient Ethiopic (Geez) is a Semitic language whose grammar is very regular, so that it is quite easy to be learned, especially for people with knowledge of another Semitic language. The script is more complex than in other Semitic languages, but it has the great advantage to contain all vowels. In the lecuture the script will be learned in some steps, the foundations of the grammar (escpecially morphology) will be laid, and we will read a number of small, easy texts.
