Armenian Language and Learning

Re: How many of you cant read Armenian?

Just because you are unwilling to take the time to logically explain basic things about your culture and history to odars, including Turks, does not make them an "agent provocateur". In fact, if these people indeed were agent provocateurs, they are not bad for the forum because they make some of us get practice in organizing our responses in an intellectual manner to people who traditionally can never hope to arrive at our conclusions due to their background.

turks are not "odars", they are enemies, they are a tribe of murderers and thieves who killed millions of our people and stole our lands. And until the Justice is done there is nothing, absolutely nothing, to talk with them. So, instead of wasting your time talking to them use your intellect to bring them to Justice.

Re: Armenian Language and Learning

I can read and write Armenian but am a bit rusty because I do not use it frequently.
In Cyprus ( where I grew up) Armenian schools are available as part of the Education system.

My kids were born in England. They learned Armenian at the community school run at weekends.
The fee is nominal. They have finished this.

I think it was good for their self esteem and I feel (they agree!) that they have achieved one of the important milestone in life as Armenians.

Congrats. But now you have to work hard to achieve the most important milestone in their lifes as Armenians. ...Can you guess what that milestone is?

Brothers and Sisters,

Please disregard, please ignore everything the user "Army" writes in this forum. This turkchi is an agent provocateur. So, I'd like to ask the Admin to ban this clown as soon as possible.

It is never a good idea to ignore. Army has not been offencive and has been contributing to this forum in a constructive way. I think belle the cat fits your description of agent provocateur much better. Please do not be a ignorent racist like muckuch, if you disagree with army just say so and state your reasons.

ignorent racist???

Just exactly with what sort of powder did you let them to have your brains washed? LOL. Was it the American pseudo-educational system of creating the modern day, colorless slave, or was it the equally destructive Soviet mind-numbing, zombie stamping conveyor belt? Either way, boy - the only ignorent racist here is YOU, reminding me of that dumb mouse that lets the cat (read the turk) to play with it without realizing that the cat is about to kill and eat it.

Oh boy here comes another Mukuch character. Guess you havent read the posts where i tell people not to idealize the west and their values. And whats this? Name calling, offencive remarks, racism? It sadens me to know that we have so many people on this level. O and isnt that cute he even managed to call me a racist somehow. If you dont have anything interesting or entertaining to say then please stfu, thank you.

Re: Armenian Language and Learning

Read very carefully:
Insult each other or attack each other again and I will ban you. I don't care if you were "right" in the argument or not. That does not put you above the rules. Comment about the content of someone's post, but not about them as a person

Re: Armenian Language and Learning

Best way to learn is to learn the language rules and learn the alphabet, then get a decent dictionary, I use the Hippocrene one by Diana Aroutunian, its fairly good and it has a pronunciation guide.

Also check out Armeniapedia, Raffi has a section on learning Armenian telling you precisely how the grammar works

http://www.armeniapedia.org/index.php?title=Armenian_Lessons

Here is the alphabet : http://www.omniglot.com/writing/armenian.htm

I don't think anything works better then conversing with people who know the languadge in person but obviously this method is not available to all.

That is the biggest question of our time
