Im the Iranian Persian teacher at SLS, born in Tehran the capital of Iran and Im happy to be the first one writing on the SLS blog 🙂

Here is some tips about Persian Language:

There are 4 skills in every language

1-Writing
2-Reading
3-Speaking
4-Listening

Try to improve the four skills at the same time…

Why?
Most of the language learners are more interested to improve their speaking skill, but the right way to learn a language is to learn how to communicate with others sufficiently by knowing and using all of the skills when you need.

For instance you may need to write a formal letter to a company or an informal letter to a friend of yours, or simply a short sentence like "I love you" 😉 on a birthday card! Then you need writing skill, besides it helps you pronounce a word or phrase correctly.

You need reading skill when someone writes a letter (or that "I love you") to you. Moreover, you can learn more words and phrases by reading new articles and improve your language more and more. On the other hand, it helps you not forget what you have learnt.

Just imagine you can speak a language very well but you cant understand what others say, funny, innit?! Then you need listening skill as well.

Formal and Informal:
Tell your teacher (whether Im your teacher or someone else) to teach you both formal and informal communication. Sometimes it looks funny if you use a formal word or phrase when you should use the informal one and vice versa.

Farsi Dari, Persian, Farsi OR Parsi?!
