Why Armenian?
Everyone has a reason. Barik fits yours.
Talk to family
Understand your grandmother, greet your partner’s family, raise a toast at the table — in Armenian, not through a translator.
Live in Armenia
Market, taxi, neighbours, doctor: ready phrases for every day and the words you hear on the streets of Yerevan.
Reconnect with your roots
Read a shop sign, a song, a great-grandfather’s letter. The language that was always close — now yours.
Hear how it sounds
Every word and phrase has audio in two voices — female and male. Tap — and Armenian speaks to you the way people speak it in Yerevan.
- Բարև ձեզhello (polite)
- Շնորհակալությունthank you
- Ինչպե՞ս եսhow are you?
- Բարի լույսgood morning
- Ես հայերեն եմ սովորումI'm learning Armenian
- Ես քեզ սիրում եմI love you
Anahit and Hayk are synthetic voices by Microsoft Azure, not recordings of people.

Questions
Which Armenian is this?
Eastern Armenian — the language of Armenia, in modern spelling, as it is written and spoken in Yerevan.
I don’t know a single letter — can I do it?
Yes. Start with the alphabet: the pen shows every letter, and every word has a transcription from day one.
How do I learn the pronunciation?
Every word and every course phrase has audio — in a female and a male voice, with a slow mode. In Listen mode, words play one after another like a podcast.
Do I need to sign up? Or internet?
No and no. Without an account your progress stays on your device; sign in with your email and it is saved to your account and appears on your other devices. After the first visit Barik works offline. Add it to your home screen — it opens like an app.
How much does it cost?
The alphabet, level A1 words, the start of the Pomegranate path, dictionary search and pronunciation are free. Barik Premium is $4.99 a month: the words of levels A2–C2 and the whole path.
How do I cancel and get a refund?
Cancel in your account at any time; access remains until the end of the paid month. Within 14 days of a charge we refund it: write to hello@barik.am.
