Testimonial by Eva Kuras
PhD student, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
The “Learn Persian through the Shahname” course was an invaluable experience. The instructor used his deep knowledge of the Persian language, the Shahname itself, and a little linguistics to help us navigate important passages of the text. He gave us tips on how to familiarize ourselves with the particularities of reading classical Persian texts. It was a very congenial atmosphere with a small group of enthusiastic participants. I highly recommend this course.
