The main grammar topics covered in Elementary One include sentence and noun phrase structure, verb conjugation and negation in the present tense, and simple questions.

Over 10 years of teaching Farsi, we have developed our method based on observing students’ needs. The main coursebook for Elementary one is “Donyâ-ye Farsi”, created in 2022 by the FarsiMonde team.
A communicative approach is applied to teach Farsi to beginners focusing on two language skills: listening and speaking. During classes, students mostly engage in speaking exercises and pair works.
After finishing Elementary one, students can learn the Persian Alphabet by attending FarsiMonde’s “Reading and Writing” course.
