my friend from Germany, Dominik, bought this book, to learn Armenian. But, apparently, it’s not a very good book to study with. The author is an Armenian from Germany, who probably changed his surname Avakian to Avak. And he does not know Armenian well, from the book I understand that he is someone who probably left Armenia in late 70ies, early 80ies.
My friend is amused with the photo on the cover - guys in black jackets, and there are similar photos inside, they are also amusing to me, but still, something disturbs me, because Armenia cannot get known only by that limited subset which he represents on his photos.
He obviously does not know Armenian language well. He uses Russian words often probably he does not know Armenian ones, those which are in use in today’s Armenia.
Also, notice the difference in quality between shots I made with Fuji x100, and Jolla phone.
