Testimonial by Aleksander Serowik
Student, United States Military Academy at West Point
I had the pleasure to attend Aspirantum’s Persian-Farsi language classes this summer and as someone who has received extensive training in the language since 2022, I can confidently say that this is the best civilian program I have attended.
The teaching staff are not only very professional but are experts in the language, especially Dr. Voskanian. His knowledge of Middle and Old Persian greatly helped with my understanding of current Persian words, as well as gave history of the etymology of words I had not given a second thought to besides memorizing. The focus on speaking as well was of great help to my studies and helped with recalling to memory words more common in every-day life versus the higher level vocabulary I have taking up most of my memory.
Regarding the facilities, they were excellent and help to encourage cooperation and interaction with your fellow classmates.
To those on the fence, I would highly recommend this program. It is well worth the price and had a considerable impact on helping me achieve a closer level of near-native proficiency in the language.

“ASPIRANTUM isn’t just a language program, it’s a space where culture, history, and language come together in the best possible way. I left the program not only with stronger Persian skills, but also with a deeper sense of connection to my heritage and a lasting appreciation for Armenian culture.”Read Testimonial
