HaHu Scripts

HaHu Scripts is a free, gamified literacy learning app for learners who want to read and write Amharic and Tigrigna using the Ge'ez (Abugida) writing system. It was founded in 2021 in Zurich, Switzerland, by Nigist Goytom (CEO) and Or Feldman Salem (COO).

Key features focus on script literacy practice rather than only vocabulary:

• Script learning through games that help learners recognize and practice Ge'ez/Abugida characters used in Amharic and Tigrigna
• Stories and songs presented as interactive learning content to support reading practice and comprehension
• Illustrated learning content, including vocabulary-style cards and storytelling elements designed for early literacy and self-paced learning
• A companion online shop selling Fidel-table posters, postcards, and branded apparel with Ethiopian cultural themes
• A broader roadmap connected to Bee Educate, described as an AI-powered platform intended to help digitize and gamify niche and endangered languages

Available on Android and iOS, with a supporting website for content, blog posts, and the shop; the core app is free to download and use.

It targets individual learners (children, families, and adults), and also references teachers, schools, communities, and organizations as potential users or partners.

Notable in an African context, it focuses on local language literacy for East African scripts, with the company's own stated primary focus on Ethiopia and Eritrea, alongside diaspora learners looking for structured practice with the Ge'ez writing system.
