Testimonial by Dean Gomm | Persian

I had such a wonderful time studying at Aspirantum's Persian winter school in Armenia! Mahboobeh is such a wonderful teacher, I arrived speaking Persian at a low level and I didn't even know the alphabet, but before I left I was already able to write about complex topics completely in Persian! She was able to identify exactly what I needed to improve and gave me such personalized advice! This course helped me improve so much, and I'm definitely using what I've learned as I am continuing my studies. Even with the cold, Yerevan was so wonderful, everyone was welcoming and the whole city was filled with so many symbols and pieces of art! Opportunities to study Farsi and practice Russian are so limited, Aspirantum is definitely a gem. I would 100% recommend this course to any other students.

This school has been such a valuable and enjoyable experience! Thanks to my teacher Ani, I’ve improved the whole spectrum of my language skills, and now I am more proficient in translation, writing, listening, etc.”
