Testimonial by Rasmus Nielsen | Armenian

I joined the 2019 ASPIRANTUM summer school in Eastern Armenian in order to sort out my quite scattered knowledge of the language and obtain a solid basis for actual comprehension, for use in my research. My expectations were high, and yet I was pleasantly surprised. I left the course with a thorough understanding of the grammar, a fundamental vocabulary, and all the resources to build upon it myself.

Classes were intense and the quality of teaching high. The teachers and remaining staff did everything to meet our expectations and wishes. Any minor issues, before and upon arrival, were taken care of promptly. Both as a student and person I felt very welcome and acknowledged.

Outside of classes, the field trips to the various beautiful places in Armenia were very well organized and left me with some unforgettable experiences. It was also great to meet many different people from around the world with a shared interest in learning new languages.

Yerevan as a city is pleasant, interesting and easy to live in, and thanks to the excellent teaching and the never-failing hospitality of the whole ASPIRANTUM team, I had an overall fantastic experience. I fully recommend the language summer schools to anyone interested.

“I knew barely no Armenian when I arrived, the alphabet, a vague inkling of the grammar, some words, and by the time I left I was able to understand the logic of most texts I came across, and to become independent in my studies.”

“ASPIRANTUM’s summer program is one of, if not the, best way to learn Armenian over the summer. The length of the program, the environment, and, most importantly, the quality of teaching made it a productive and educational experience.”
