$etho*s for learning A new languageage one" tips

Traditional ethod

This metho* is the simplest but least effectie. <rite out =0 to => new wor*s in a column. ut foreign wor*son the left an* their translation to #our natie language on the right. ocus on memori2ing the wor*s for goo*.

It is important to concentrate #our attention. Now rea* the whole list carefull# line b# line. Then hae a ten minute brea- *oing something else. After that

coer the left column an* tr# to recall the script an* pronunciation of all the wor*s from the list. 6-ip the wor*

if #ou cant recall it for long.+ae another fie minute brea-. Then recall all the wor*s again. Tr# to concentrate #our attention on the

wor*s #ou coul* not recall the first time.

,o on reiewing until #ou are able to recollect the translation of all the wor*s from #our list %howeer put the

learning off if #ou feel tire*). +ae a rest now. It is nee*e* for #our brain to regain its strength.;eiew #our wor* list in ?('0 hours after #oue learne* them. Then reiew it each =4 hours. The total of four

reisions is re8uire* an* enough.

Note: It is goo* to put new wor*s on 0"@ '"= inch car*s with Armenian wor*s on one si*e an* theirtranslation on the other si*e.

Passi!e perception ethod

the wor*s will be memori2e* of their own accor*.

"hi#t to the s$bconscio$s ethod

Thus" all the information will shift to the subconscious. ou shoul* not thin- about the wor*s an#more when

#ou go to sleep. ;eiew the wor*s in the morning.

Abo$t transliteration s(stes o# Arenian

This site *ispla#s the transliteration in latin characters for natie English spea-ers" as well as correctArmenian spelling" thus #ou shoul* memori2e the pronounciation gui*e if #ou want to learn to spea- the

language. There is no perfect transliteration s#stem for the Armenian language" an* this has been the source

of much argument an* *ebate both in an* out of Armenia. The s#stem use* now is the from the 9ibrar# of

1ongress 6#stem" but *ierges from it as often as not" simpl# because we want to simplif# the pronunciationfor the untraine* ear.

The tranliteration use* here is a simple one. +ere is a short list of some common changes within *ifferent

transliteration s#stems in written Eastern Armenian so #ou can un*erstan* someone no matter which s#stemthe# use" although" remember that the wor*s are still pronounce* the same.

#e G e ( eample: Es" Es % I ) . eample two: Era2" Era2 %*ream)

Armenians er# often leae off wor*s li-e #es % I ) an* *u % #ou ) since in Armenian there is a separate
