Drinking in Armenia is a serious business.
Not because of the alcohol, but because of the words.
The Tamada is the table director, the philosopher-king of the feast.
He ensures that every glass drunk is dedicated to a value: parents, peace, women, the hearth.
Structure of the Feast 📜
Toasts follow a strict order.
First to peace, then to the occasion, then to parents.
It provides structure to the chaos of a party.
It teaches respect and hierarchy.
Language learning also needs structure to flourish.
Public Speaking Practice 🎤
Every man at the table must eventually make a toast.
It is the best public speaking training you’ll ever get.
Don’t be shy.
Raise your glass and say a few words in Armenian.
Even a simple “Kenats” (Cheers) is powerful.
Heart over Head ❤️
A good toast comes from the heart, not the brain.
Don’t worry about perfect grammar.
Worry about sincerity.
People forgive mistakes; they don’t forgive insincerity.
Raise Your Glass 🍷
Here’s to your new journey.
Here’s to your success.
