"It was perfect"

LUCA DOMENICHELLI, student from Italy

My experience was extremely positive,
the teacher was very qualified, she has a very good knowledge of both languages (Italian and Armenian).
The material that was given to me was really helpful and it completely compensate for the lack of textbook in Armenian language.
In addition to the previous positive aspects I'd like to say that the teacher and the school help me to overcome some issues related to my disability being very adaptable.

"Well structured language course in the heart of Yerevan"

Carsten Majer, student from Germany

Lazarian Dpratoon is a relatively small school running well structured language courses. I liked my teacher, facilities where in a perfect location even though a bit dated and not necessarily modern.
The course (Armenien for beginners) is perfect for students that stay a bit longer then myself (I took a 2 weeks, 15h per week course). I liked the structure and knowledge of the teacher. As a German it is not as easy to learn Armenian via English and English Text books. It takes time to transcribe in one's mind English written pronunciation. I would take a course again at the school.

"Very professional, tailored, fun and effective teaching."

Jean-Michel Johnston, student from UK

My whole experience at Lazarian Dpratoon was great. I had 10 individual lessons with Rouzan, who was a very friendly, and clearly experienced teacher. The first lesson was spent getting a sense of my existing knowledge of the language (quite basic, but not entirely beginner), and discussing what I was hoping to get out of the course - in my case, the aim was to get to grips with the fundamentals of the grammar, so that I can effectively continue to learn the language once I was back at home. The rest of the lessons were then very well organised - Rouzan had a plan for each one, but was also very flexible, if I wanted to discuss something in particular, or simply talk about my experiences in Armenia. She encouraged me to speak as much as possible, balancing the need to correct my mistakes and simply allowing me to practice expressing myself. We often discussed aspects of Armenian culture and history, which I found fascinating, as well as some aspects of the language's origins and logic. All in all, I feel my Armenian improved a lot! (even if there is, as always, much more work to do!). I would definitely recommend this school - which is also very centrally located - and Rouzan in particular, to anybody hoping to learn Armenian.

"Great language learning experience at the heart of Yerevan thanks to experienced and motivated teachers."

Marie-Christine Fritsch, student from Germany

Lazarian Dpratoon and its professional staff allowed me to immerge into the language right away with constant motivation and teaching quality. Communication with the teachers was very friendly and encouraging; classes were adapted to my need, speed and abilities, offering an effective insight and start into the language providing a guaranteed progress throughout. The language school is small but it provides the student with all necessary facilities to learn a language most importantly thanks to the motivation and experience of the teachers which is the best basis to learn a language. All in all I enjoyed my stay and being a student at Lazarian Dpratoon very much and I hope to come back.
I cannot say anything about activities or housing offered by the school as I did not book any of them.
