Hey! I recently started learning German and want to get more speaking practice while living in Armenia. I’m looking for a tandem partner here who is fluent in German or also learning German so we can practice together. If you're interested in learning English, Arabic, or Armenian, I would love to help you out in exchange :)

Немного необычное объявление 😄

Хочу сегодня выйти на Каскад, взять кофе и просто познакомиться с совершенно незнакомым человеком. Напишите если кто то тоже хочет интересно провести время с видом на город)

Hey everyone,

So here's my situation: I spent 6 months living in Yerevan for an exchange program during my Bachelor's and I absolutely fell in love with the city, the vibe, the people, everything. Now that I'm back home, I'm facing the reality of a pretty awful job market, and I'm seriously considering a complete career pivot into Dentistry.

In Italy, the admission test for dentistry is an absolute nightmare—super rigid, hyper-competitive, and honestly a complete pain in the ass. That’s why I started looking into Armenia, since entry requirements seem way more reasonable and I’d get to live in Yerevan again.

My long-term plan would definitely be to move back and practice somewhere in the EU after graduation, so I’m trying to figure out how viable this actually is. Is the degree recognition process back in Europe after graduating from an Armenian school super painful, or relatively straightforward? Also, is YSMU pretty much the only solid choice for dentistry, or are any of the private unis worth looking into?

I'd be looking at either English or Russian-medium programs, so I'm curious if the teaching quality is actually decent and if international students get genuine hands-on clinical practice with patients. On paper tuition and living costs look pretty cheap compared to Western Europe, but I'm wondering if there are hidden costs I'm not seeing.

If any current students, grads, or locals could share their thoughts or experiences, I’d really appreciate it!

We're around 362 AMD per USD now. That's a pretty big move from the ~383 AMD/USD level about a year ago. Why is the dram getting stronger? Do you expect this trend to continue? I'm getting paid in USD, and every month my salary is effectively getting smaller.

This is beyond frustrating. My girlfriend is playing music on her phone from YouTube to the bluetooth speaker, and it is nonstop playing ads. Some of those ads require some sort of interaction to go past them, like clicking on "Skip Ad" even after the ad is done playing or the music will not resume.

Does anyone know of a workaround to get a Premium Sub working here?

I am a young film director shooting my second short film from august 25 to 27.
I need an apartment in Yerevan (its the main location in the film) with old soviet renovation and a balcony.
Ive dissected list.am and any other real estate website at this point, yet i cant find anything compatible with the film.

I would be glad to hear any suggestions,
thanks in advance!

Hello everyone I’m a Palestinian/Jordanian solo traveler who decided to visit Yerevan for three days.
What are some suggestions for food places, activities, social places/bar to meet young people my age. I’m interested in meeting people from Yerevan and getting to know the country and the people better.

I’m Azerbaijani and I realized that most of what people on both sides hear about each other comes from news, politics, or social media.
If you could ask an ordinary Azerbaijani anything about life, culture, society, language, education, daily routines, or anything else, what would you want to know?
