Description
This is A1-2 course, it means you have to pass A1-1 before starting it. This course covers units five to eight of the book FRAME, published by Saadi Foundation. You will find five to nine smaller lessons with a video in each lesson, each covering one section of the lessons, e. g., conversation, listening, reading, etc. In the case of A1-2, you will find thirty-three (32) instructional videos (six hours and a half) for four lessons, including one video on Practicing grammar in Iranian. Each course comes with three pdf files, one for your homework, one for the whiteboard notes from each session, and the third for the final exam. The course also follows with two complementary files, in which I read two Persian sources for you. One Persian poem, for this term, is a poem from Hafez, the 14th-century Persian poet, and the other is a Persian folk story, Amoo Norooz. As Usual, use these sources as listening input and listen a lot as part of your daily routine. Do not try to understand every word. In this course, you are going to learn the following letters and sounds: /d/, /v/, /k/, /g/, /l/, /m/, and/n/ and long vowel /u/. The grammar of these four lessons contains the question and negative form of the verb BUDAN (to be), dependent subject pronouns, basic adjectives, and conjugation of the verbs AMADAN 'to come' (mi-ayam [I come], mi-ayi [you come], mi-ayad [she or he comes], mi-ayim [we come], mi-ayid [you come], mi-ayand [they come]) and DIDAN ' to see'(mibinam [I see], mibini [you see], mibinad [she or he sees], mibinim [we see], mibinid [you see], and mibinand [they see]) in the present simple tense. At the end of this course, you can greet others, start a conversation, (greetings in Persian), say goodbye and end the conversation, ask and answer questions about objects and people, identify syllables and the sounds of each word, and read longer textsThe videos are labeled so that you can follow them easily, step by step, and not miss anything. Please make sure that you watch everything and don't skip any videos. Learning a new language is fun, but it also takes a lot of endurance and persistence. You might feel worn out and believe that your pace is too slow. But learning a language is not about speed; it is about quality. The initial steps are always slow and difficult, but as soon as you get past this stage, you will notice that you are moving forward more quickly. I will be by your side through every stage, no matter how big or tiny, easy or difficult they are going to be. Welcome on board, enjoy your travel, and let's learn beyond Persian. Sepideh Koohkan
