Testimonial by Sam Cozolino | Persian

ASPIRANTUM’s Persian program was beautifully run. It allows you to get a sampling of the Persian world and speak about topics that you are passionate about.

ASPIRANTUM is also passionate about the cultural aspect allowing you to immerse yourself in a country rich with history, cuisine, architecture, and so much more. The hospitality is beyond belief and the views are spectacular. Your time in Armenia is also such a wonderful time to connect with fellow language learners and the locals in order to figure yourself out. I know that this time was great for reflecting on my future and learning from smart people. Armenia provides many adventures and some Persians to speak to in order to connect with the language. In down time, like Vardavar– the water festival– and lying in the park, you are able to feel one with the precious land on which you will reside. The countryside and the monasteries also allow for further contemplation.

I could not recommend ASPIRANTUM more.
