10 weeks (or 6-9 weeks) 2026 Armenian Language Summer School
Without ASPIRANTUM, there would have been no way for me to advance in my Armenian.
Throughout the summer, I was fortunate enough to have the rare chance for one-on-one classes with my instructor Lilit and plenty of ways to speak with other Armenian learners during ASPIRANTUM's social events. In my classes, I participated in a full range of effective activities, from translating poetry to analyzing music, speaking only in Armenian with the full patience of my instructor, and having productive amounts of homework. Also, the excursions around Armenia on the weekends or weekdays offered a range of opportunities for practice not only due to my interactions with locals, but also due to understanding the comprehensive history of the region and finding a community of learners with all of my program coursemates.
Largely because of ASPIRANTUM, I believe that I can read, write, speak, listen, think, and translate with the fullest confidence.

“This summer, I spent two months in Yerevan attending the Armenian language course at Aspirantum, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We had almost six hours of Armenian lessons every day, which helped me noticeably improve my speaking skills in a short time. My teachers were very patient and open to new approaches.”Read Testimonial
