The First Audiovisual Course
of the Armenian Language
Hayeren Khosink
The audiovisual course of the Armenian language, "Hayeren Khosink", produced in close collaborationwith the UNIVERSITY OF VENICE and the Association PADUS-ARAXES, on VHS videotapes in PAL, SECAM and NTSC videosystems, is still available in the French SECAM version.
Never before has it been so easy to learn Armenian in the classroom or in the privacy of one's own home. This is the first course for a Near/Middle Eastem language to be available on audiovisual cassette.
"Hayeren Khosink" is comprised of three videotapes, of 45 minutes each, and an accompanying manual. It is especially intended for false beginners, i.e. those who have a minimal knowledge of the language. It introduces a fast, entertaining and easy method of leaming conversational Armenian for people of all ages.
Designed by specialists, this course is the outcome of several years of research aimed at providing the most effective and complete approach to learning conversational Armenian with almost no assistance for an adult from an instructor, and lesser assistance for children. The videos show scenes of real life situations, acted out by native speakers, all taking place in the majestic surroundings of Venice, Italy. Each scene is followed by a constructive grammar lesson to facilitate comprehension. The course manual comes complete with glossaries for the dialogues presented in each of the 35 scenes with translations into three languages (English, French and Italian).
An easy-to-use Alphabet key intended for beginners is also found in the manual.
