16 weeks 2025 Persian Language Semester Program

My experience at Aspirantum was nothing short of amazing. Aspirantum is less of a school than a family. Daily classes were challenging, immersive, and fun. The ratio of instructors to students was incredible and forced you to fully engage with the curriculum. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, with an advanced expertise of Persian stretching from modern slang to ancient poetry. The course material enhanced development in the written, spoken, and literature realms of Persian. My ability to communicate was greatly strengthened throughout my time enrolled in the program. Outside of class, the trips and events planned for us were executed seamlessly and allowed students to truly learn to love the beautiful nation of Armenia. Exploring the rich history and culture of the region and making connections to Persian history and language along the way were certainly highlights of my experience with Aspirantum. All the staff are highly motivated to see students succeed and will go the distance to ensure your experience is as good as possible.
