About the
PRACTICAL TEXTBOOK OF WESTERN ARMENIAN - NOTE OF THE
EDITORS
Why
to recommend this Textbook ?
- Because it applies a self-teaching method. It is essentially
bilingual. Language problems are explained clearly and briefly, in simple
English, perfectly adapted to your requirements by a native American-Armenian translator. Each text is accompanied
by its translation and each exercise
by its answer key. Especially, If you
have acquired also the complete
cassette-recording, learning Armenian will become an easy and pleasant task;
- Because It uses a practical method. No theory to study; no grammar rules to learn by heart; grammar is just introduced by
foot-notes; it only helps to understand the text better. Each chapter introduces
only one or two new items, not more than a dozen new words, integrated living
patterns, sentences to listen to, to repeat and to understand most
naturally, by practical assimilation ;
- Because, finally, this self-directlng Textbook provides you with all you need: a multilevel program of sequential instruction in reading comprehension, vocabulary development, simple and correct language patterns; it also incorporates a first approach to Armenian literature. Please do follow the indications given in: “How to use this Textbook?”
Whatever level you might choose, this Textbook is the equivalent of a yearly trip into a purely Armenian environment.
