| Course description: | These courses will teach students the basic grammatical knowledge needed to read and understand texts in standard Persian. The grammatical rules will be discussed, and by means of exercises, students will learn to apply them. They will also be introduced to the terminology commonly used in Persian grammars. Furthermore, alongside the grammar teachings, students will receive fluency training to master spoken Persian (mostly by means of repeat- and blanks exercises). Some attention will also be devoted to written Persian. In follow-up courses the acquired knowledge is further developed. |
