Frequently asked
What level do you need to read this text in Armenian?
A1. That means: you know the letters and have a stock of everyday words — about two or three hundred.

First all the way through without peeking at the translation — just to catch the familiar words. Then with the translation. Then all the way through again: the second pass brings noticeably more, and that feeling matters more than any rule.
