Testimonial by Tariq Mir | Learn Persian

I would never have thought that there would be such a thriving language school in the heart of Armenia and in a language that I had been yearning to revive! My experience at the ASPIRANTUM Summer School has been one of the most fruitful of my academic career and has greatly benefitted my current doctoral research. Even after five weeks, I regained confidence in Persian. I greatly improved in aspects of the language that I was incredibly anxious about, in particular, my skills in speaking and composition. For a Ph.D. student, the Summer Course is ideal: as a short course, it doesn’t take too much time out of your doctoral research, and as an intensive course, you can see the improvements in your language skills from the very outset of the program. This is all done with the support and guidance of experts who know Persian and all the intricacies that go with it. I wholeheartedly recommend this course, and all other courses at ASPIRANTUM, to anyone interested in reviving their language skills in the beautiful and buzzing city of Yerevan!

“I think the ASPIRANTUM Persian course was a perfect way to quickly improve my Farsi to a degree where I felt comfortable speaking with native speakers and capable of reading and understanding media in this language.”
