This Armenian language textbook is one-of-its kind, easy, simple resource for everyone who wants to learn Armenian from A to Z. It is particularly good for beginners, since it also educates the learners culturally. I have written this textbook with the challenges of my students in mind and by utilizing most efficient methodologies of teaching foreign languages. The textbook consists of two parts. Part 1 is for complete beginners, where the alphabet, basic dialogues accompanied by Latin transliteration, grammar and essential vocabulary are taught. Part 2, on the other hand, is intended for intermediate learners. We have almost no transliteration in this section and assume that the student is feeling more comfortable reading the Armenian letters. The units in Part 2 have more exercises, longer texts and teach richer vocabulary. The texts and dialogues include information about Armenian places of interest, famous writers and artists, historical facts, pictures. This way the student feels more engaged with the Armenian culture and does not simply learn a new foreign language. In the appendix, I included a more elaborate vocabulary list, common Armenian proverbs, acronyms and useful expressions. I hope you enjoy your Armenian journey
