Armenian course in Venezia
Hello!
I'm new here and i'm glad to have met this blog.
I was born in France and live in the city of Lyon. Last year, I spent 3 weeks through Hayastane, including Karabagh. My first trip there was in... 1977 so you guess I saw changes, some good, some bad. However, I felt it was time for me to improve my Armenian, since I lacked some abstract vocabulary to be able to talk about arts or politics.
On Sunday, I will fly to Venezia, in Italy, to attend the 3-week Armenian course provided by the Padus-Araxes association http://www.padus-araxes.com/ (the site is not up to date, though)
In case you are interested, here are already some pieces of info: the price of the course is 650 euros ; the single room in a student residence is 800 euros ; each meal costs 7 euros. The university and the residence are in different districts of the city but they are both located downtown, and can easily be reached by vaporetto.
I'll tell you more when I'm back :-)

Somewhat unrelated to the Venice post (and not), I heard there is an article in this month's Travel + Leisure magazine about Armenia's tourism boom. I still have to check it out, but meanwhile, I found this online, apparently from the June issue:

Salut et bienvenue !
You won't be disappointed by your 3 weeks with padus-araxes, it's an unforgettable experience

J'espère que ça sera bien ! Ils ne donnent vraiment aucun détail et je ne sais guère à quoi m'attendre :-)
Que du bon ! don't worry : discovery of a wonderful place with kind and open minded people
I studied Armenian in Venice 13 years ago at the Mourad Raphael Language school. I think the program you are going to is different, but you will love Venice!
I hope you will love Venice as I do! My husband & I visited Venice for the first time last summer and are eager to return. Be sure to visit the wonderful small island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni. It is a short vaporetto ride to this beautiful Armenian monastery. One of the guide books said, "tourists are greeted by charming Armenian monks who will chaperone their charges and introduce them to this memorable island, so green and serene." The charming Armenian monk who led our tour spoke in four languages: Armenian, French, Italian and English so you will have a chance to practice your Armenian language skills. :-)
Have a wonderful time!!
