Description

This course serves as an introduction to the Persian language and Persianate culture for students with no prior knowledge of Persian. We will learn to communicate primarily by speaking, listening, reading, and writing in both spoken and written Persian. We will learn the Persian alphabet while building conversational skills in elementary Persian. We will develop a strong foundation in Persian grammar as well as proficiency in Persianate culture. Persian will be the primary language of the class with limited use of English.
