10 weeks (or 6-9 weeks) 2027 Persian Language Summer School

I genuinely had the most incredible experience with Aspirantum this summer. Their Persian Summer school was invaluable. 

My teachers were exceptional and every single class was highly engaging, providing me with a grounding in both the language and culture which I am so, so grateful for. I don’t think I have ever enjoyed learning a language so much or progressed so quickly.

Thanks to Aspirantum, I am now able to go and study Persian at university, which I cannot wait for and which would never have been possible without Aspirantum and the phenomenal dedication of my teachers. Joining the summer school was truly one of the best decisions of my life and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding teaching, excursions and friendships I got to be a part of during my 10 weeks with Aspirantum.

“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.”
