Hasmik

I think Hasmik has brought a good routine to the lessons: every lesson we focus on reading, grammar, new vocabulary and using the new vocabulary. She also invariably focuses on the correct use of words (as opposed to certain things that are said in everyday life, but are not grammatically correct). I am very satisfied with the way the lessons are given and I am not afraid to make mistakes (because I still make a lot of them).

Today we practiced the personal pronouns and cases. I am happy to see that Hasmik manages to identify my weak points so that we can gradually improve them. I also like the fact that Hasmik tries to provide variety in the materials. After our lessons I always feel energized and motivated. I am definitely in it for the long haul!

Hasmik always finds new ways to challenge me. The lessons are tough, but not so hard that I feel like giving up. The new vocabulary we see every week is exactly what I need: academic, elegant and literary. There are many new words whose root I already know and it is interesting to deduce the meaning from them. It is also fun to learn the language and culture at the same time. I am really enjoying the lessons.

I like the fact that Hasmik understands my needs and that she challenges me during the class. Շնորհակալություն դասերի համար Հասմիկ։

Today was my second lesson with Hasmik, we had a look at a text in Armenian and practiced my reading skills (something I should really work on). I learned a lot of new useful words, and rehearsed a couple of constructions I knew, but had forgotten over the years. The lesson was challenging, but I think just what I needed at this point. It was also nice that Hasmik tried to look for a text that would interest me and that she gave me homework. I am really looking forward to our next lesson!

Today I had my first lesson with Hasmik and I am very excited to keep learning with her! I haven't spoken Armenian for a very long time and she managed to put me at ease so that I felt comfortable enough to start speaking. I know that over the years I have picked up many wrong things that have become a habit now and it is great that she will help me correct/eliminate them. Ես շատ շնորհակալ եմ
