10 weeks (or 4-9 weeks) 2024 Persian Language Summer School

My experience in Aspirantum was memorable. From the micro to the macro, the learning I got from my seven weeks Farsi program was round and holistic. Generally, the professors are well-prepared in the language and the historical development surrounding Persian throughout the years. Moreover, they also give the students bits of cultural notes and try to get them immersed in the world of the language, which is boosted by the stimulating surrounding of students around the world with similar interests. 

Professor Ani is a well-prepared and empathic professor who makes students feel comfortable and in a safe environment by providing support and material and is willing to accommodate everybody´s preferences reasonably. Khachik, the Director, was also very supportive, making his best effort for us to have the best experience in Yerevan. Overall, the entire team was immensely kind and competent. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their Farsi skills.
