- Who Speaks English in Armenia?
Join me as we walk the streets of Yerevan, in search of locals that speak English.
We pick a destination and ask the locals for directions to see how well they could respond.
After Georgia, I was really surprised with the results.
We head to vernisage and as always mingle with the locals in the amazing city of Yerevan.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we meet the amazing people of Yerevan Armenia

Monte Melkonian is an Armenian hero 😊 Such an inspiration. There has never been anyone like him. He fought and died for Hayastan. He was American of Armenian descent and was not able to speak Armenian until he was an adult, where he then learnt the language. He fought for all Armenians including those in Lebanon 🇱🇧 where he also fought in. Sadly he died at the battlefield when he tried to liberate Armenian land from the Azeri Turkic occupiers.
Hello mate,
Thank you so much for your input and on educating us on such an amazing culture and history! Merci
@@vafavili8262he is waiting for you in paradise, will make you a cockerel and send you to hell 🤣
You missed a lot of things from his terrorist biography. Please write all the terrorism, killings he committed. We Azerbaijanis finished him in our lands since he was an occupant. I hope he enjoys his life in hell
Excellent video! Armenians seems great people! 👍
Thank you mate... They really are, I can honestly say that👍
Ur right they seems nice to me tooo
Amazing !! Love Armenians🇦🇲❤️
Armenians are a wonderful people.
Welcome to Armenia 😉👍
Amazing place!!!
People in Yerevan seem very friendly and eager to help strangers. People in your Georgia video (Batumi) seemed more stand-offish.
I think it really depended on the situation and setting... But for sure more approachable in English!!!
This doesn't surprise me. Despite having been told by so many people that English is very prevalent in Georgia and that you shouldn't speak Russian, I have had pretty bad experiences in Tbilisi trying to communicate in English (and I've been there several times). First of all, I can't even count the number of times people have just stared at me like some sort of alien creature when just saying "Hello" or something simple, even in Georgian... I don't know if it's that they thought I was Russian or something, but I genuinely felt like I had landed on a planet in another solar system and the people I was interacting with had never seen a being like myself. And English speakers were relatively rare. I had to speak Russian in order to communicate much more often than I was expecting. Granted it wasn't everyone, and I have lots of Georgian friends that are super warm and friendly, but I've never experienced anything like that in Armenia. Even if an Armenian doesn't speak your language, they are almost universally friendly and helpful... and the level of English seems to be higher in Yerevan, to boot.
I love Armenia. Artsakh is armenian. Warm hugs from the Italian brothers
Great country, nature, people, culture and people!! LOVE ARMENIA and ARMENIANS!!!
From where?
❤❤❤
😍😍😍😍🙏🙏
Armenia is a beautiful country with a beautiful people 👍👍👍👍👍
Please go and learn English 😢
So many artistic people there ❤
Indeed, I was impressed!
Hope you had a great time in Armenia, and will take a little love from armenians❤❤❤
I've been living in Armenia for half a year and the people are really fantastic. Always nice, welcoming and outgoing and even often trying to give you something or feed you without expecting something in return) And the nature there is awesome, mountains, lakes, lovely food as well
Just incredible, absolutely must visit country!
Motherland Armenia 🇦🇲

Welcome to Armenia
I'm Lithuanian living in London and I've been watching you Justin for quite a while. Surprisingly good content and I love your genuine approach to all the locals where ever you travel! I can see the new star is rising on RUclips and soon we will see London taking over Brighton! Keep on moving Justin and all the best mate!
labai ačiū for the kind comment, It means a lot and helps with the moral of creating such a channel! Lets keep going
Nice work Justin ! thanks for visiting Armenia :)
Мне понравился этот выпуск. Автор, вы очень харизматичный и веселый человек)
Большое спасибо за ваши добрые слова.
Я рад, что вам понравилось видео👌👃👍
И любит попить😂
Lovely Armenia!!! 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🙏
Another excellent video Justin! I hope you are recovering and feeling better in Latvia. I really enjoyed your RUclips live video from earlier this week. Just to let you know, there will be the Armenian Pan-Armenian games taking place in Yerevan this August. Tens of thousands of Armenians from all over the world will be coming to Armenia for these Olympic-style games. You'll get a chance to meet Armenians from Europe, South America, United States, Canada and the Middle East. In case you were thinking of visiting again! I know there are flights from Riga few times a week! Cheers!
Hi David.
Sticking to the doctor's orders and hope to be back in full swing very soon! Thanks for asking👍
I also really enjoyed the live stream and am currently planning the next one. Hope to see you again on Tuesday.
August in Armenia sounds amazing, you never know I might show up!!! Would make a great video talking about the different diasporas... Thanks for the info.
@@J.E.E Hope you recover soon! Looking forward to your summer adventures. Just take it easy for the time being to get to a 100%. As for Armenia, sounds good! My good friend, who is an avid world traveler, will be in Yerevan during that time as well. Should be loads of fun interacting not only with locals but Armenians from all corners of the earth congregating in one place. Cheers and wishing you a speedy recovery Justin. Looking forward to your next video.
@@davidsahak2522 🙏
@@J.E.E Indeed best wishes and Gods speed recovering.
@@chubbawubba4287 🙏 thank you mate
Thanks for featuring Armenia 😍😍😍
Hey there! Thank YOU for watching and appreciating the video. It's such a beautiful country with a rich history and stunning landscapes. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more exciting content like this. Cheers!
What a smart person, being an Englishman, knows Russian and speaks it so well. In addition, I want to tell you that the youth of Armenia also knows the history of England, since we study the history of the Middle Ages at school, including the history of England and France, especially Armenians know the history of the 100-year war.
1375 King Levon V of Armenia was exiled to France. From there he visited England and after a great reception by King Richard II and escort to London made a plea in Westminister Palace for the English and the French to end their 100 year war and turn their energy towards the middle east and a new crusade.
unlike 99% of Georgians where nobody understands english . Vive l'armènie 🙌😅😅😅🙌
I was quite surprised actually... Bravo les Arméniens 👍
I can say that Armenians have language skills. There are a lot of famous Armenian linguists (I am studying to be a linguist in Russia and many of our textbooks were written by Armenians). In confirmation, I can cite my experience. I know about 7 languages myself due to frequent moves to different countries😅

Thank you so much dear Justin for introducing us and our country to your nation, you did great work in order to increase count of tourists and traveling in our country❤❤🙏🏻
Watched your video with smile on my face during whole video 😅
Just please do not pay attention to sellers who said nothing accept “give me money” , that was disappointing, but I hope we will “correct” it too , soon)
Hi Justin. Welcome to Armenia. If you still here, i will be able to help you to discover our cities and whole country for free! Nice to see that you like us and i hope you will travel to Armenia again.❤
Great video! I missed Yerevan so much! This was awesome!❤💙🧡
Thank you so much
Good job
Hi 👋 from California.
Welcome to Armenia Justin 🎉
What a lovely vlog 🙂, Thanks for taking us to the local market, it really reflects the nature of the city's people where they seems welcoming and trying their best with the language barrier 🤍.
Well i am from Armenia and i know that Brits went to England from Armenian highland, so we would love to see how well Brits speak Armenian.... now give high five..
I am quite confident that no where near as good at the Armenians speak English 😂😂😂
High Five back to you 👋
Armenians have big hearts.
Love from USA!

Thank you, i am very happy to be back!! 😃👍
С удовольствием посмотрел хотя на английском ничего не понимаю но общий смысл понятно.
Thank you very much from Armenia 🇦🇲
THANK YOU FOR THE COVERAGE!!

There are a lot of Armenian people living in Syria as Kurdish people and they all consider themselves also Syrian, so I was not surprised at all and find it amazing that Harout said that he is Syrian even though he could have said that he is Armenian and you have never guessed that he is Syrian too, I like these people who mention their origin :)
amazing video Justin...Thank you for visiting my Beautiful country...
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and it was truly a pleasure to visit your beautiful country. I had such an incredible time exploring and experiencing everything it had to offer. Thank you for your warm hospitality!
@@J.E.E Very happy to hear that, unfortunately you saw my country more than me ever in my life. Born in Europe and living in LA now, through you I have discovered a little more of my country...our home doors are always open for nice humans like you. Hope to see more in the future of you in Armenia with other episodes!
Awesome Vid Justin!! Thank you!
Love the UK 🇬🇧 from Armenia 🇦🇲

@@lba6859since when azeris became English? 😂
Such a positive and interesting content. You gained a follower Sir ! And welcome to Armenia.
Great video!!! We are always watching your channel….Thanks fromUSA
Amazing people ❤
❤👌thank you! Beautiful ! I missed Yerevan so much. Watching from LA
Thank you for your video!
The guy from Syria is Armenian too (hence the first name, Harut.. but also I can tell from his face). Before the civil war, Syria had one of the largest Armenian diasporas in the world, mostly established by Armenian Genocide survivors. Syrian Arabs welcomed them to their country, and helped save countless women and children after the genocide. Those Armenians kept their language, culture, church and identity, as Armenians have been doing in foreign lands for millennia, but sadly many had to flee to Armenia during the war. Same goes for Lebanon - there are lots of Lebanese Armenians in Yerevan. They're easily identifiable as they don't speak Russian, but usually speak English fairly well with a mixed Arab-Armenian accent.
obsidian is quite strong volcanic glass, it's widespread in Armenia
And they make fantastic stuff from that beautiful stone.
Thank you, Justin!

Thanks for a great video. I must say that I'm amazed by your Russian language as well, there were some parts when you spoke Russian with no accent. Thanks for visiting my motherland, and I appreciate your kind words about my people. Cheers to the people that prefer to unite instead of fighting. Спасибо:)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It means a lot to me that you noticed my effort to speak Russian without an accent.

Hello but i am so surprised what your pronunciation little bit different from british English accent
May be its depend from region there
I am not very well understand when listen fast brithish pronounciation
But when you speak i understand exellent...
From wich city of UK you are from ?Are you Englishman or half Armenian ?
Thanks...🤩
Nice video✌🏼🫶🏼 good luck ❤️ from Milashik😂❤️❤️
Thank you! You too!
I bought a lots of jewelry from George in Vernisage))
The older generation was growing up in the soviet occupation era that’s why most of them speak Russian
But most Armenian youth speak English.
Overall if you can speak only English and you want to be understood, you have nothing to worry.
You’re always welcome in our country 🇦🇲
My love my country❤❤
I don’t understand Georgian they don’t like speaking Russian but why they don’t speak English to , 80% Armenian speaking Russian I think young generation maybe 80% speaks English and %60% Russian

I like the pink stone buildings in armenia they are unique and so beautiful
Agreed… thanks for watching my friend! 👍👌
Such a pleasant video !!! Justin,are you sure you are not an armenian?))))You don't look like brit,you don't sound like brit,even your personality,your temperament doesn't suit it. You are very positive and warm person.If it's ok to ask,what is your nationality?
I miss armenia
