3 weeks 2019 Persian language winter school

I was very pleased with my experience learning Persian at Aspirantum. The Persian program was intensive, well-paced, and catered to students' needs. The quality of teaching was excellent, with a good balance between grammar, reading, speaking and listening. We received good quality materials, photocopied from text books, and made fast and steady progress over the 3-weeks course. The teacher, Ani, was experienced and professional, and made the classes fun and non-intimidating. Also, the classroom was in a convenient central location.

Khachik, the Director, was very helpful and available at any time to assist students in any way. He arranged some great excursions and dinners.

I felt that my language level improved a lot, and that I had good opportunities to use my Persian.

I would recommend the school to anyone who wants to learn Persian in a beautiful city with a rich culture.
