LingoflyArmenian after Ling: where to pick up
Ling does teach Armenian: that is its catalog as of September 18, 2026. If you are already learning there, you do not have to start from scratch here: from “Upper-Intermediate” you would continue at unit 3 “In the city”. Your first session is a three-minute check that pins down your place, and the words you have covered come back for review a few at a time.

Armenian proficiency exam
We found no widely recognized CEFR exam in Armenian for foreign learners. The closest thing is the language requirement for citizenship of Armenia; it has a page of its own.
How to switch without starting from lesson 1
- Tap your level. The row of links below this page opens Lingofly in Telegram, no install or sign-up. If you are new here, the “Armenian” course and your Ling level are already selected: you only go through three short screens — language, goal and study time. If you already have an account, add the language and tap “Where to start” on its card in your profile.
- Take the check. Your first session is three minutes of “what does this mean?” questions, from easy to hard. Two failed bands in a row and the check ends: we do not drag you through what is too hard.
- Carry on from your place. The lessons before your place count as done. Their words come up in your warm-up a few a day: remember one and it is yours; forget it and it comes back again.
Frequently asked
Is Armenian in Ling?
Yes. The difference is not whether the course exists but what is inside it: how many words, whether each has audio, whether the script is taught from zero. We have Armenian in full: 4061 words, with audio, the script explained, a phrasebook and grammar in plain words.
What Armenian level do Ling levels correspond to?
«Beginner» — A1, «Intermediate» — A1, «Upper-Intermediate» — A1, «Advanced» — A1 and «Expert» — A1. Ling does not map its levels to the CEFR, so this is the word count of our course. A three-minute check will show your exact place.
Is there a Armenian exam for foreign learners?
We found no widely recognized CEFR exam in Armenian for foreign learners. The closest thing is the language requirement for citizenship of Armenia; it has a page of its own.
Will I have to start from lesson 1?
No. Mark your Ling level and your first session will be a three-minute check, not lesson 1. From “Upper-Intermediate” you would continue at unit 3 “In the city”, and the words you have covered come back for review a few at a time. If you already have an account with us, add the language and tap “Where to start” on its card in your profile.
