16 weeks 2025 Persian Language Semester Program

The semester program here at Aspirantum is nothing short of incredible. Over the course of this semester, I have learned so much about Persian language and the culture and history that drives the language. I now feel confident in my abilities to read, write, and articulate myself in Persian language. The best part about Aspirantum is definitely the people. The director and instructors at Aspirantum are extremely knowledgeable and to say that they have helped us grow during our language learning journey this semester would be an understatement. Aspirantum’s semester program is located in the city of Yerevan, which has such a rich culture and history. It has been a pleasure to have had the opportunity to attend Aspirantum’s semester program and I cannot recommend it enough!
