In this ongoing course, the students will learn and practice speaking Farsi (Tehrani accent). Our focus will be on conversational skills. 

I will have a starting conversation planned for the day. We will then choose a day-to-day conversation topic with the students based on their interest and goals. We will repeat the dialogs until the student gets comfortable. They will find the confidence to speak Farsi.

I want the students to have fun while learning. I can show your learners how to use Scratch (a popular block-based coding language developed by MIT) to make characters say something in Farsi. We can use the Scratch website to record some of our conversations for future reference. The students will learn a thing or two about coding as well. 

We may watch a short video and try to understand it, find familiar words, or repeat the dialogs and new sentences.

The topics of this class are learner-directed. We can choose a topic from the list below:
- Food, fruits, and vegetables
- Animals and nature
- Family members
- Poetry and songs
- Travel 
- Seasons and weather 
- Hobbies and color
- Likes and dislikes
- Time and numbers
