The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of Amharic phonology on the learning of English pronunciation by comparing the segmental and suprasegmental features of both languages and thereby find out the difficulties Amharic learners of English may have in pronouncing certain English sounds, words and sentences. Discrimination and production tests were administered to 61 native speakers of Amharic. The participants were found to be fairly good at discriminating. The problem was with production which they were relatively weaker.
