Testimonial by Chitra Shah
BA Student, Political Science and History, Ashoka University, India
The Persian programme at Aspirantum was one of the most enriching academic experiences I have been a part of. I left feeling confident in the improvement of my language skills and understanding of Persianate culture. Professor Voskonian’s expertise in linguistic theory and emphasis on etymology greatly enhanced my learning process. Ms. Margaryan’s explanations and readiness in assisting with additional resources allowed me to stay consistently encouraged. The experience was challenging but also immensely rewarding. It rekindled an even stronger sense of excitement for language learning. Mr. Khachik was an excellent host, and I remain grateful to him and his team for ensuring that my stay in Armenia was smooth and convenient. I wholeheartedly recommend the programme to any Persian language enthusiast, especially aspiring scholars. The entire programme is curated to ensure you have a memorable experience!

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aspirantum Language School to anybody wanting to study Persian. The Intermediate classes were rigorous but very rewarding and struck a good balance between the essential skills of listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Feedback on homework was extensive and extremely helpful.”Read Testimonial

“We got to visit many of Armenia’s beautiful old monasteries and churches, and, on my favorite trip, we visited Yazidi shepherds, who were very welcoming, giving us bread and cheese and letting us try to milk their sheep. Unfortunately, I did not manage to milk it successfully, but the experience was wonderful nevertheless!”Read Testimonial

“The teacher, a linguist and university professor, has extensive knowledge of the language, history, politics, and etymology and is extremely passionate, which made the classes highly engaging. The class materials included real documents such as the constitution and news clips, which allowed me to understand Persian in a range of accents and contexts.”Read Testimonial
