Persian 1 - 6

Description

Persian, a language steeped in history and culture, and of ever-growing importance in international affairs, is currently spoken by more than 70 million people throughout Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia. It is the first language of approximately 50% of the population in Iran and is the country's official language—the language of government, media and educational instruction. Modern Persian is closely related to Dari (a dialect spoken in Afghanistan) and Tajik (spoken in Tajikistan). It is written in a variant of the Arabic script called Perso-Arabic, which has some changes to take into account Persian phonology. At WAL, students can expect to focus on using the language for practical everyday use. In addition, cultural information will be offered as part of the instruction.
