Language Door offers small interactive Farsi classes! Please check the schedule.
For the Beginning A to

For subsequent classes, please

to discuss further.
Colloquial Persian is the ideal introduction to the modern language, also known as Farsi,
as spoken in Iran.
The author, an experienced teacher of the language, has devised a step-by-step approach to written and
spoken Persian.
Learning to reand and write Persian script is made as easy as possible. For those who wish
to communicate in Persian without studying the script, romanization is included throughout.
Other features include:
- concise grammar explanations
- lively dialogues with essential everyday vocabulary
- Persian-English and English-Persian glossaries.
120 minutes of audio material is available to accompany this course, on either
