Helps learn how to communicate in Persian (Farsi) effectively. Focuses on comprehension and speaking through simple structures. Gives you essential cultural cues and critical dos and don'ts in the context. It would be a combination of multimedia materials, on-line support and face-to-face meetings.
We start with verb conjugation and word combinations rules. Then comes basic Persian 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.

Offers deep and enjoyable learning of reading/listening/writing/speaking skills depending on your purpose. No prior knowledge of Persian needed, although familiarity with the language allows working on the best examples of short story, poetry and plays in the rich Farsi literature.
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.
