Armenian (Western), Compact: Learn to Speak and Understand Western Armenian with Pimsleur Language Programs (Simon & Schuster's Pimsleur)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent method; learn at your own pace

By feminaformosa - September 1, 2006

I ordered this so my husband and I could learn a little Armenian (I am of Armenian descent). I have other Armenian language tools, such as the VocabuLearn cassettes, a textbook, and Samuelian's transliteration dictionary, and they are all helpful in their own way, but in terms of amount of progress for time spent, Pimsleur beats them all.

If you have ever listened to the Pimsleur compact programs for other languages, you will be familiar with the structure. I have listened to the first lesson of two other languages, and the Western Armenian one is no different.

Great Way to Brush Up on (or start learning) Armenian

By Early Music Fan - February 11, 2007

My Armenian was very poor, but I found these CDs easy to follow. You start with phrases that are repeated by two speakers, helping you figure out the correct pronunciation and also variations. The conversations progress as new words and phrases are introduced, but the speakers always remind you of words and phrases you've already used, so that you can remember them and learn how to work them into coversation.

Since I knew a bit to begin with, I can say that the pronunciation is good and the phrases are helpful. They tend to use the formal voice (rather than more informal terms that you might encounter everyday), but they are very useful CDs.

It's a great start

By Thomas W. Riley Jr. - January 30, 2007

After just a few hours of listening to the CDs I was speaking Armenian and and I was being understood clearly as well. It's a great first step to learning Armenian
