Testimonial by Audrey Vermillard
Graduate Student, INALCO (Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales), Paris
This course was perfect in every way, and I must say, beyond my expectations. First of all, the course was very well structured with a good progression in the study of texts, the acquisition of vocabulary, and grammar structures. Not only were we able to progress quickly in Middle Persian but we’ve also had a very good insight into comparative linguistics features, as well as cultural backgrounds. The extra readings provided by Ruben between the classes were very precious and made this session even more complete. Needless to say that Ruben is a very knowledgeable instructor, always eager to share his (impressive) knowledge, as well as a very patient person, kind, receptive, and considerate towards his students.
The studious yet friendly atmosphere of the class with the other great students was motivating and enjoyable. Taking part in this intensive session was a real pleasure and honor, and I would recommend this course a hundred times without any doubt!

“Aspirantum’s Middle Persian course greatly increased my ability to comprehend this language. It has made me more aware of the context and culture that surrounded it. Finally, it has put me in touch with other researchers in this field. I would recommend it, without reservations, to anyone who is interested in Middle Iranian studies, Zoroastrian studies, or Sasanian history.”Read Testimonial

“The fact that Armenian has retained a staggering number of Middle Iranian loan words, and Ruben’s ability to masterfully cast light on such historical linguistics contacts, makes ASPIRANTUM the ideal place for studying Middle Persian.”Read Testimonial
