• How words workNo gender at all: նա is he and she. The as an ending, տուն and տունը, plurals with -եր and -ներ, the helper in Ես ուսանող եմ, the ՞ that sits on the word you ask about, and դու or Դուք.
• 243 words, then show wordsԲարև, Շնորհակալություն and Մերսի, family and numbers, լավաշ, խորոված, դոլմա and մածուն, places and verbs. Then Վա՜յ, Ապրե՛ս, ջան after a name, Ցավդ տանեմ, what to call people, and ten sentences to read before you check.

How to use it

1. Read the alphabet page aloud, one row at a time. Keep it next to you while you read the rest.
2. Read the grammar page twice. You don't need to learn it, just to notice that նա is he and she, and that the helper եմ follows the word.
3. Learn five words a day. Cover the orange and grey lines on the last page, read each sentence aloud, then slide the paper down to check.
4. Watch something with Armenian subtitles in Kitsumi and hover any word to see what it means. Բարև, Լավ and Վա՜յ turn up in every scene.
