Persian I- Beginner
Adjunct Professor of Persian: To be Announced
DC Internationals is proud to offer Persian I- a ten week intensive non-credit course that’s designed to teach Beginning Persian (Farsi and Dari) through immersion, fun and humor.
Times and location:
Persian I- Beginner—Meets once per week on Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 PM
First day of Class: June 2, 2010
Location: 1920 G Street, NW, Washington DC.
No previous foreign language experience is required, although knowledge of another Middle Eastern language will be helpful. By the end of the semester, you can expect to have basic reading, writing, and speaking skills.
Academic Goals:
This class begins by teaching the Arabic alphabet as it is used in writing Persian. The rudiments of Persian grammar will be taught gradually. Each lesson will include grammar, a dialogue or reading passage, with vocabulary, grammatical explanations, and exercises. Each class will begin by going over the exercises from the previous lesson, thereby reviewing that lesson before proceeding with the next one. In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. Students will be expected to purchase the course materials.
Students will be encouraged to listen to Persian radio and television stations available on the internet. Each week, one student will make a presentation to the class, either a website or some other item of his/her own choosing. The class will take a Mid-Term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress.
While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in present, and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.
