Armenian classes! :)

[Jen]

I know this isn't really a thread where I'm asking for an advice/answer, but anyways, I thought you guys would be happy for me, since I know NO Armenians here in the US (shame)

I was reading a thread Mouse started about those who can't speak/write/read Armenian and that motivated me into taking classes again...I had some basic Armenian classes while I attended high school and I still remember how to write and read, but I can't speak, so I just found out that there is church near my house that has lessons on Friday nights! I can't wait to go there tomorrow!!! YAY!

Re: Armenian classes!

Hi Jen, Congratulations and good luck

very proud

Actually 2 of my friends (brothers) are only half Armenian, and they started learning Armenian only a year ago. The best was, they went to Armenia for the first time end of last year and it was amazing how far they have come along

Re: Armenian classes!

I'm ashamed that I can't speak Armenian, since I grew up surrounded by Armenians who spoke the language most of the time. I also had the opportunity to learn when I started attending an Armenian high school, but then again, I had no interest since I thought I'd never used it. I guess, back then I didn't really understand how important it is to embrace your ancestry.

Anyways, it is never too late!


PS: I at least know the National Anthem and the "Our Father" in Armenian...(hey, that's something! )

Jen, keep it up.
Learning the language of the people, whose blood runs in your veins will be something you'll cherish for ever.
