Armenian dictionary › Guide: Armenian made simple
Barik: how it differs from a dictionary or a translator
A dictionary answers "how do I say this". A translator answers "what does this mean". Neither helps you remember. Barik is built so that Armenian stays with you.
What is inside
- The alphabet with handwriting. 39 letters: sound, name and handwriting you can trace with your finger.
- 20,000 Eastern Armenian words translated into six languages, with pronunciation and audio. Synthetic Microsoft Azure voices — female and male.
- Spaced repetition. Words come back just as you start forgetting them: after a day, two, four, a week, two weeks, a month.
- The Pomegranate path. From letters to phrases and on to reading original texts by Tumanyan, Terian and Charents.
- A phrasebook — almost 300 ready-made phrases with audio.
- Works offline. The site works without internet and can be added to your phone's home screen like an app.
Price
The alphabet, level A1, the first steps of the path, the dictionary and pronunciation are free. The rest is by subscription.
