Watch These Soviet Armenian Classics to Learn Russian the Fun Way

Can you really learn a new language by watching trippy Armenian cartoons? 🇦🇲

As a linguist, polyglot, and lifelong animation lover, I’m exploring how the surreal worlds of Robert Saakyants (Ռոբերտ Սահակյանց), Armenia’s most iconic animator, can actually teach you language, culture, and creativity all at once. His wildly imaginative films turn simple folk tales by Hovhannes Tumanyan into unforgettable, dreamlike experiences.

In this video, I’ll show how to:
🔥 Use visual storytelling to strengthen your vocabulary and listening skills
💫 Train your ear through surreal, poetic dialogue and sound design
🌊 Discover how art and myth reveal a language’s deeper logic

✨ Featured Cartoons:
🟦 Three Blue-Blue Lakes of Crimson Color (1981)

🟨 Who Will Tell a Fable? (1982)

🐟 Wow! A Talking Fish! (1983)
