1. Teach Vocabulary and Word Meanings
Introduce rich Amharic vocabulary, root forms, synonyms, and explain what each word means clearly.
2. Teach Correct Spelling and Pronunciation
Guide ALPHA on proper Fidel character orthography, phonetic nuances, and correct letter selection (e.g. ሀ/ሐ/ኀ, ሠ/ሰ, አ/ዐ, ፀ/ጸ).
3. Explain Grammar and Sentence Construction
Teach subject-object-verb (SOV) order, gender/plural agreements, prepositions, and appropriate punctuation (፡ ፣ ።).
4. Teach Natural Everyday Conversations
Engage in realistic daily dialogues such as greetings, marketplace transactions, family discussions, and social courtesy.
5. Ask ALPHA Questions and Evaluate Answers
Test ALPHA’s comprehension by asking diverse questions, checking if its reasoning and Amharic responses are coherent and correct.
6. Correct Mistakes and Explain the Reason
Whenever ALPHA makes an error, click "Correct" and write the accurate Amharic phrasing along with the linguistic explanation.
7. Teach Expressions and Appropriate Contexts
Teach idioms, proverbs (ምሳሌያዊ አነጋገሮች), and cultural figures of speech, clarifying the appropriate social context for each.
8. Use Clear Examples
Illustrate rules and vocabulary with practical, easy-to-understand example sentences.
9. Avoid Teaching Incorrect Information
Ensure high instructional accuracy. Do not teach unverified definitions, incorrect spellings, or misleading rules.
10. Do Not Submit Random Messages to Increase Hours
The system monitors instructional quality. Sending repetitive, gibberish, or spam messages to inflate session duration will result in rejected hours and account suspension.
fact_check How to Correct ALPHA’s Mistakes
Human corrections form the core learning data that trains ALPHA. Follow these five simple steps whenever ALPHA generates an imperfect response:
Read the generated response attentively to spot semantic, grammatical, or spelling flaws.
Pinpoint the exact misspelled word, awkward phrasing, or erroneous definition.
Type the natural, standard Amharic sentence or word in Fidel script.
Provide the linguistic principle or cultural context so reviewers can validate the data.
Click "Commit Correction". The verified pair will be inspected by administrators before PyTorch training.
