Book Description

This Armenian language textbook is one-of-its kind, innovative tool for everyone who wants to learn Armenian from A to Z. It is easy, fun and culturally informative. It educates and unfolds a whole new world in front of the learners' eyes. I have written this textbook with the challenges of my students in mind and by utilizing most strategic methodologies of teaching foreign languages. The textbook consists of two parts. Part 1 is for complete beginners, where one learns the alphabet, basic dialogues accompanied by Latin transliteration, grammar and essential vocabulary. Part 2, on the other hand, is intended for intermediate learners. We have almost no transliteration in this Part and assume that the student is feeling more comfortable reading the Armenian letters. The units in Part 2 have more exercises, longer texts and teach richer vocabulary. The texts and dialogues include information about Armenian places of interest, famous writers and artists, historical facts, pictures. This way the student feels more engaged with the Armenian culture and does not simply learn a new foreign language. In the appendix, one can find a more elaborate vocabulary list, common Armenian proverbs, acronyms and useful expressions.We hope you enjoy your Armenian journey!
