Online Resource Platform

LEHZU is an open-source platform where Armenian DLI educators discover, share, and elevate the resources that make their classrooms come alive.

Introducing LEHZU

The Word for Language.
The Home for Everything It Takes to Teach It.

LEHZU, the Armenian word for language, is ADLEA's open-source platform built specifically for the Armenian Dual Language Immersion community. Think of it as a dedicated space modeled on the spirit of Teachers Pay Teachers, designed from the ground up for the educators, schools, and families who are doing the extraordinary work of keeping Armenian alive in classrooms around the world.

LEHZU will offer both free and premium resources, so that every educator, whether in a well-funded district or a small community school, has access to quality materials. Educators who contribute their own work can offer it freely or set their own terms, building a marketplace that honors the time and craft that goes into great teaching.

Every resource on LEHZU will be reviewable by the educators who use it, allowing the community itself to surface what works, refine what needs improving, and build a living library that grows smarter over time.
