5. Columbia University
The famous Columbia University is one of the New York places where you can learn Armenian. There’s a catch, however, as the class is open to undergraduates and graduate students of Columbia University and Barnard College.
The course seeks to help students acquire skills to communicate about topics relating themselves and their immediate surroundings. They will handle authentic materials, including road signs, ads, timetables and so on and listen to songs in Armenian to better pick up the language. Those who have gone through Elementary Armenian or already have this knowledge can move to Intermediate Armenian where they will learn to communicate about a wide range or topics regarding biography, geography, education, health and so on.
Then, in Advanced Armenian, students will learn how to communicate on more complex topics, including social, historical, political or cultural. Literature will be discussed during the Readings in Armenia Texts course, where there will be extra emphasis on analyzing context, syntax, and grammar structures.
