Siranush Minasyan

We spared almost the whole lesson today for revision. Good way to consolidate the content covered so far. Look forward to learning new stuff next time.

Another rewarding lesson. I learnt some more dialogues and important verbs and phrases. The pace is stable, about 1 unit per lesson. Considerably time (40 min per lesson) is spent on revision of previous classes.

The second lesson was more challenging than the first one, but still very rewarding. Learnt more vocabulary and some useful phrases!

Today we finished unit 7. As we go further and further, considerable time is spent on revision in each lesson. About 20 minute is used to study new content. This is understandable given that Armenian is not an easy language. Thanks!

My third lesson was as systematic as the previous two. On average we finish one unit per lesson. Siranush makes sure you get/remember all key points and words through regular repetition. The first 20-25 min is normally used for reviewing/repeating the content of previous lessons. The last 10 min is for recap of content covered in the current lesson. It may sound a bit old-school, but it's actually an effective method given that Armenian is not the easiest European language to learn, especially with its own alphabets. Thanks a lot!

My first lesson with Siranush was amazing. In just one hour she managed to help me not just refresh but even remember many words and basic sentence structures that I was unable to master previously with the other teacher. (To be fair, my previous teacher did give a some foundation that helps me continue with Siranusg.) This should be attributed both to her own very good textbook (which I got the soft copy right after class), plus her superb teaching skills. The teaching style may be a bit old-school with regular repetition, but it is effective and not that boring when you realize you are actually making progress. My goal with Armenian is not ambitious, just to accomplish A1 perhaps, and I am sure Siranush can help me do it if I continue my study with her. Highly recommended!!
