Start without knowing the script
Learn a few letters at a time, then expand the deck as recognition becomes easier.
These practical A1 lessons are organised around real communication situations rather than grammar rules. Each one brings together the vocabulary, phrases, pronunciation, and grammar you need for that situation.
Learn the first conversation you need in Eastern Armenian: greet someone, introduce a name, ask where someone is from and lives, choose polite or informal address, use numbers, exchange a phone number, and talk about professions.
Build on introductions by talking about countries, nationalities and languages, introducing another person, naming everyday objects, using Armenian articles and plurals, reading larger numbers and prices, and understanding an address, phone number, and email address.

Start with useful professions, then connect each one to a typical workplace. The goal is to recognise the job quickly rather than memorise a long list at once.
Which word means “programmer”?
Which phrase means “in a hospital”?
Learn job vocabulary as actions. These phrases are more reusable than isolated profession names because they let you describe many different jobs.
Which phrase means “to speak with customers”?
Which phrase means “to help patients”?
Read four fictional profiles. Focus on three questions: what is the job, what does the person do, and when do they work?
Who checks documents and speaks with customers?
Who sometimes works on Saturday?
Who starts work at five in the evening?
These three patterns are essential for work conversations. Learn them as complete chunks, because “must” uses a different following verb form from “can” and “want”.
Which sentence says “I can work with a computer”?
Which sentence says that the speaker has to wake up early?
Use can, must, and want to talk about working conditions. These are fictional preferences, so you never have to provide personal employment information.
Which line says that the speaker wants to work in a team?
What does the speaker not want to do?
Learn the small banking vocabulary set needed for a basic transfer. The aim is not financial detail; it is recognising the fields and questions in a simple everyday transaction.
Which phrase means “account number”?
Which sentence says “I want to transfer money”?
Read a short transfer exchange. Then identify the four pieces of information that belong on the fictional form: recipient, account number, amount, and purpose.
Who is the recipient?
What amount is being transferred?
What is the stated purpose?
Put a fictional workday into a clear sequence. Reuse time expressions from the previous lesson while adding workplace movement and meetings.
Which sentence says that the speaker leaves home at eight?
What happens after lunch?
Eastern Armenian often distinguishes location and movement with endings or fixed place patterns. Learn these as practical pairs instead of translating prepositions word for word.
Which sentence says “I am coming from work”?
Which sentence says “I am going to work”?
Finish by combining availability, work obligations, days, and time. The learner only works with a fictional schedule.
Why can the second speaker not meet on Wednesday afternoon?
When do they finally agree to meet?
Which sentence expresses “I have to work until six”?
Use fictional information and answer these prompts aloud. Nothing needs to be entered or saved.
These are the most useful words from the lesson. Think of the answer first, reveal it, then tell the app whether you remembered it. Words marked “Again” return later in the same drill.
