Persian Courses

After this course, you will:
● be more comfortable in your knowledge of contemporary Iranian culture
● be better able to deal with cultural references in conversation
● be better able to understand colloquial language

The emphasis is to develop proficiency in communicative skills concentrating on the dynamic application of the living language taught through dialog, phonetics, and vocabulary. A strong grammar foundation and other basic language skills are taught through actual phrases and sentences, helping the student develop an instinctive sense of the correct usage. These objectives will be achieved through the following approaches: speaking, listening, reading, writing, and cultural studies.

Learning would be done through a selection of audiovisual material, apps, and texts. Paraphrasing, summarizing, interpretation, discussion and/or close reading of the texts would be central. Exercises, activities, lesson plans and flash cards could be designed according to your learning priorities. Internalizing vocabulary, grammar and comprehension, furthermore, would be ensured through contextualizing, assessment and review of the material.

We start with verb conjugation and word combinations rules. Then comes basic vocabulary and sentence structure. Once you learn the basic rules (implicit grammar) and tricky exceptions you would be able to go forward pretty smoothly. Conversation simulation and otherwise activities and exercises too help managing real-life situations. The focus in speaking would be communication and conversational/colloquial use of the language rather than formal Farsi.

I try to motivate my students in a variety of ways.

I am ready to help the students meet their learning goals, I know the difficulties students face when learning another language Apart from the subject matter, I provide my students with advice and mentoring.

My teaching methodology is: patience and positive approach. Every person in this world and every kid in this world like kindness, smile, nice word. I'm not strict teacher, but that doesn't mean that I won't correct student's mistakes, but I will do it in a kind and easy way.
