"I’m Armenian, and even though I couldn’t speak my language before, thanks to Sonia’s help and the teachers around me, I started understanding much more and expressing my thoughts clearly and I was impressed that others started to understand and respond to me.
Now I’m learning Yerevan Armenian, and even though my family speaks Western Armenian, I already know interesting new words that are somehow different and can understand both versions of the language.
I really enjoy and it is so much fun learning Armenian together with Sonia."

"It was after the age of 70 that I took on the challenge of relearning the language of my roots, a language that, over time, had slipped away and hidden beneath a thick layer of forgetfulness.
Thanks to Mrs. Sona Vanyan, I rediscovered the joy of studying my mother tongue.
With endless patience, she managed to wake my old brain back up to learning, applying a methodical approach that she constantly adapted from one lesson to the next, perfectly suited to the student I was.
She led me to feel the richness and depth of this extraordinary language, which encouraged me to persevere in my efforts.
The variety of topics we explored also added to the pleasure of studying, not to mention the subtle humor always waiting quietly behind each page.
After a necessary pause, I am delighted to resume the climb with this attentive and generous guide."

"Sonia is an amazing teacher! Her lessons are clear, engaging, and very encouraging. I always wanted to learn Armenian properly, and thanks to her, I’m finally speaking with my grandparents in Armenian!”
