Eastern Armenian

Spoken in Armenia, Iran, Russia and Georgia. It is the base of the lessons.

Western Armenian

The language of the historical diaspora: Lebanon, Syria, France, the United States, Istanbul.

No need to worry: both varieties share the same alphabet and are largely mutually understandable. You choose your family’s community in the app; the lessons and their audio stay in Eastern Armenian, the common base, and Ani answers in Eastern or Western.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I learn Armenian from scratch?

Start with the Basics level: the alphabet and its sounds, with audio for every letter. Lessons follow a recommended order all the way to Pro level, but you can open any lesson in the levels of your plan. Everything is explained in your language, and Ani helps you practice from your very first words.

Is Askaci free?

Yes, to start: the alphabet and the Basics and A1 levels (36 lessons), reviews and 5 messages a day with Ani are free. The Plus (€4.99 a month) and Premium (€7.99 a month) plans unlock the rest; you can cancel from the app whenever you like.

Which Armenian will I learn: Eastern or Western?

Lessons and their audio follow Eastern Armenian, the official language of Armenia and the common base of both varieties (same alphabet). If your family speaks Western (Lebanon, Syria, France, the United States, Istanbul…), you can practice it with Ani, who speaks and writes both, each in its own spelling.

Can I learn Armenian by myself, from scratch?

Yes. Start with the Basics level (the alphabet, with audio for every letter), then greetings. Lessons come in a recommended order, reviews bring back each word at the right time and Ani gets you talking. She does not replace a teacher, but she gives you someone to answer.

How long does it take to learn Armenian?

It depends on your time and your goal, and nobody can promise a date. With a little practice every day, you can read the alphabet within a few weeks; holding a simple conversation usually takes a few months.

Is Armenian hard for a beginner?

The 39-letter alphabet looks daunting, but the writing is very regular: one letter, one sound. Romanization helps you at the start and the audio for every word helps your pronunciation. Grammar takes practice, like any language.

Who is Ani, the AI tutor?

Ani is an artificial intelligence set up for one mission only: helping you speak Armenian. She role-plays everyday situations, corrects your sentences and suggests replies. She stays focused on the language and does not replace a teacher, but she lets you practice every day.

Do I need to know the Armenian alphabet?

No. The first level teaches you the 39 letters, and romanization (Բարև = barev) is shown for as long as you need it. You can hide it once you read on your own.

Can I learn Armenian on my phone?

Yes, on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers, right in the browser, with nothing to install. You can add it to your home screen like an app, and your progress syncs across all your devices.

Where does the word audio come from?

Every word and letter in the lessons has its own recording, made with an Armenian synthetic voice. Ani’s replies are read by an AI voice. You can listen as many times as you like.

Are levels A1 to C2 a certification?

No. The levels borrow the European scale (CEFR) to sort lessons by difficulty: they tell you what you are studying, not what an exam would certify. The advanced levels (C1, C2, Pro) are short and focus on the vocabulary of news, work and debate. Askaci does not issue any diploma.

How do I cancel a subscription?

In the app: Profile, then My plan, then “Cancel my subscription”. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you already paid for, at no cost.
