16 weeks 2024 Persian Language Semester Program

My teachers and fellow classmates have guided me to a level of fluency I would not have imagined three months ago. Thanks to our favorite course director, we have also ventured on many a side quest to explore the beautiful country that is Armenia. I am so grateful for this opportunity to grow my Persian language skills as well as my awareness of the world around me. You will not find a more attentive staff, and every one of them is a talented language teacher.  

I would recommend this program to anyone hoping to develop their language proficiency quickly while experiencing a unique host country that is rich in history. The class size is small, the courseload is manageable, and your learning will go as in-depth as you want it to go. When I came, I was quite shy to speak in Persian, but Aspirantum has given me the fluency and the confidence to hold valuable conversations with other Persian speakers.
