Product Description

Product Description

Compact Eastern Armenian, a stand-alone 10-lesson (5 hours) program, teaches beginning language strategies for essential communication and traveling needs.

SPEAK ARMENIAN TO LEARN ARMENIAN

The Pimsleur Method will have you speaking Armenian in just a few short, easy-to-use lessons.

Learn at your own pace, comfortably and conveniently.

No books to study. No memorization drills.

LEARN ARMENIAN AS YOU LEARNED ENGLISH

You learned English by listening. With Pimsleur, you listen to learn Armenian. This Language Program was developed by renowned memory expert, Dr. Paul Pimsleur. His research led him to the realization that the most important use of memory is in language learning. Based on this, Dr. Pimsleur designed a learning program that works for any language. The Pimsleur Language Program is an integrated system which immerses you in the language, encouraging you to hear, understand and use the language all at the same time.

Now you can take advantage of Dr. Pimsleur's research. At the completion of these eight lessons you will comfortably understand and speak at a beginner level.



About the Author

Dr. Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and was one of the world's leading experts in applied linguistics. After obtaining his Ph.D. in French from Columbia University, he taught French Phonetics and Phonemics, and supervised the language laboratory at UCLA. He went on to become Professor of Romance Languages and Language Education, and Director of The Listening Center at Ohio State University; Professor of Education and Romance Languages at the State University of New York at Albany; and a Fulbright lecturer at the University of Heidelberg. Dr. Pimsleur was a member of the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF), American Educational Research Association (AERA), Modern Language Association (MLA), and a founding member of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). His many books and articles revolutionized theories of language learning and teaching. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed a new method that is based on two key principles: the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory that he called Graduated Interval Recall. This program incorporates both of these principles to provide you with the most simple and effective learning method possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent way to introduce yourself to Armenian, Nov 17 2007
Armenian is by no means a widespread or commonly used language (like, say, English, Spanish or Mandarin), so it can be very difficult for the learner to find ways of practicing pronounciation and listening skills. Although the Pimsleur Method focuses on only the most basic and fundamental phrases, the constant repetition and opportunities for participation in dialogues helps beginners assimilate the sounds and flows of Armenian. I'm not sure about the claim that this is actually Eastern Armenian, since the speakers use forms like "ge hasgnam" instead of "hasgnoum em" (i.e. Western verbal forms instead of Eastern ones) and, after a few months of learning Western Armenian from books, I had no problem matching the spoken words to their Western written forms.

Pimsleur courses are always a great way to kickstart your thinking in a foreign language (not just translating back into English). The Western Armenian course is no exception.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a Bad Start, Sep 9 2001
By gene c browne jr (Van Nuys, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I liked the way the exercises built upon oneanother.
Each progressive exercise reviews words and phrases from previous lessons; great reinforcement technique.
About the only think I didn't care much for was the fact that this WESTERN series contains/teaches a lot of EASTERN words and language. A Western Armenian friend of mine listened to the tape and was very disappointed that a good portion of the WESTERN tape was actually EASTERN Armenian langiuage.
Still, however, it's a good intorduction and no one will laugh at you if you master the EASTERN/WESTERN words. They'll just be jazzed that you know anything about the language at all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, Feb 5 2000
By A Customer
I secretly bought these tapes and listened to them in my car. The first time I spoke Armenian to my future inlaws (Armenian is their first language) I almost had to pick my future mother-in-law up off the floor! I was thrilled with the result! I would recommend this program to anyone!
