I like the history presented here-- the history is important to understanding why Armenian is not a major superpower, given its grand history.

I looked through this and it needs improvement. It is 2022 (almost 2023) as I write this, and this was up in 2015. Why hasn't the instructor redesigned the course with more visuals? Break the alphabet down, give us clusters of words that are related linguistically, and help us retain them. This is almost like book learning where the information is just presented and the reader/learner takes in what they can.

The website https://hayeren.hayastan.com/english/mainr.php needs to be updated. You need simple stories for new learners. Adults like to color-- have us print up a workbook with coloring pages and places to write the words and draw pictures. This could be so much more interactive.

What you have here is a great springboard and I hope you come back and update it.

In this course, the instructor was too fast and basic in explanations. A beginner cannot memorise by himself all the letters of the armenian alphabet so fast in the way to proceed to the next lesson and already to understand the phrases or the words. If it is armenian for beginners, at it was the course description, the instructor should have added some examples so the user would be captivated with the next lesson because otherwise a user can learn by himself the alphabet and does not need a course for it. Besides, the video was flashing several times during the course and the instructor forgot the arrow of the mouse on the pages. It would have been very well if near the armenian letters and words, also to write the equivalent in latin alphabet so every user could learn better, easier and faster. I do not recommend.
