Description

I am an intermediate speaker. I have gained a fair ability to converse informally with friends and relatives. I have traveled to Iran 10 times in the past because my in-laws live there. I have learned by keeping a notebook and constantly taking notes in English and then phonetic Farsi, and finally learning the basics of the written language. I want to learn because of several reasons: personal enrichment, facilitating my husband's legacy, ensuring my own children have that legacy, to enrich my cultural awareness, deepening personal relationships , and possibly use it in a career. I need someone to critique my current language skills, explain my faults, assist me with learning more advanced language skills, and developing it into fluency. I am looking to spend at least an hour a day or more. I am looking for someone to start teaching me just above my head so I can stretch my skills. In the past I took from layman teachers who either didn't know it well enough to teach it, or were used to teaching children and not a serious adult. My goals are: 1)to gain proficiency and confidence in conversationa l and written farsi; 2)to become higher educated in the language on the college level. I have looked for this for more than 30 years. It is easy to find beginner material on the first grade level. I am looking for an adult-based curriculum. I have bought many books that just 'jump into it' but I want someone to offer me more customized learning. I prefer someone in the DFW area so I can benefit most from it.
