Birthright Armenia Online Language Tutorial: A Free and Undiscovered
Treasure



Finding that perfect language tutorial program is inevitably tough. First of
all, everyone learns in a different way. Secondly, you get what you pay for.
The $20 language tapes you pop in on the drive to work assume you've
mastered the basic phonetics and skills of the target language in the first
30 seconds of the spool. Rosetta Stone is said to be an excellent teaching
tool (expensive, maybe; not to mention that the tutorial repertoire does not
include Armenian).



But, there is a break in this mold. Just a few clicks away from Google, the
Birthright Armenia Eastern Armenian language tutorial has until now been a
kept treasure for those frugal language learners searching diligently for a
top-quality Armenian tutorial. Designed by a team in Armenia led by lawyer
and linguist Tom Samuelian, the language tutorial is a true asset for those
struggling to learn Armenian with limited resources. It was quickly deemed a
great feat in language learning for non-Armenian and Western
Armenian-speaking students alike.
