If you're interested in learning how to speak the Armenian language, but don't have the luxury of knowing how to read Armenian script, this book is for you. I'm often asked to recommend a basic Armenian dictionary and phrase book, and this is the one that gets the gold stars. From observation, I can share that the novice students, American-born youth of Armenian descent, and non-Armenian spouses who picked up this book now have a grasp of Armenian [and can pronounce tricky words like khaghogh -- grapes] because of this one-of-a-kind volume.
