Serving as your own teacher can be difficult when learning a foreign language. For those looking to spend money, but save money compared to expensive classes, commercial guides can help. Simon & Schuster's Pimsleur series publishes a book and audio CD combo to help teach you either Eastern or Western Armenian. The guide provides a series of 30-minute lessons designed to help you learn the basics of the Armenian Language quickly, and is quite affordable. EuroTalk also offers two different lessons for the computer, both Beginner Armenian and a course entitled Vocabulary Builder. Both are available at The Ultimate Language Store.
Depending on where you live, you should be able to find a course in the Armenian Language, although it will most likely cost you more than the other alternatives. You are most likely to find an Armenian Language course at a local university. Contact the one closest to you and ask if they offer an Armenian Language course.
Listen & Learn Language Courses provide an opportunity for those who cannot find a local university offering a course. The program involves one on one tutoring by a native Armenian speaker. To find a location near you, visit Listen & Learn USA.
The best way to learn a language is to actually speak it with others who either know the language or are also learning it. One of the best ways to improve your Armenian is to find someone to practice with.
If you don't already know someone who is learning to speak the language or already knows it, My Language Exchange provides an online service that matches up people looking to practice certain languages, including Armenian. Once you've done some initial learning, head to My Language Exchange and find someone to practice with.
