Verbs “to be” - “to have” - Verb “to like/love” (Hardcover)

Book 4 is the first book in the intermediate series where you will learn how to introduce and describe yourself and/or someone else using the “be” verb (greetings & introductions), have conversations about your family and belongings using the verb “to have” (family & friends), and talk about hobbies and the things someone likes and dislikes using the verb “to like/love” (hobbies & favorites).

“be” Verb - Place and Time (Hardcover)

While Books 1 and 2 focused on the use of “be” verbs in Simple Present to express emotions and describe the weather, Book 3 teaches you how to ask about or say where someone or something is (Where?), ask about or tell the time (What Time?), and ask about or say what day and date it is (What Day? What Date? When?) in both Simple Present and Past tenses. Furthermore, the book covers the cardinal and ordinal numbers, days of the week, and months of the year in Farsi along with the related vocabulary and real-life conversation examples. Some important topics of day-to-day conversation are covered by introducing key question words on the topics of time and place. With the knowledge you gain in this book, you’ll continue to create a solid foundation to master conversational Farsi.

“be” Verb - Weather (Hardcover)

As a continuation to Book 1, Book 2 teaches you the vocabulary and the grammar knowledge you need to have conversations and make your own sentences to describe and ask about the weather. Each chapter focuses on a season and some common weather types associated with that season. You will learn how the sentence structure and expansion of sentences work in Farsi. In each chapter you will also learn about the Persian calendar and some Persian seasonal traditions and festivals celebrated by millions of people around the world for thousands of years. Each chapter closes with a list of vocabulary relevant to the season that you can use to further make your own sentences. With the knowledge you gain in this book, you’ll continue to create a solid foundation to master conversational Farsi.

“be” Verb - Emotions (Hardcover)

Book 1 teaches you a range of emotion-related vocabulary as well as the grammar knowledge you need in order to make simple sentences with the “be'' verb in both affirmative and negative forms. The book consists of nine sections, each focusing on one emotion followed by demonstrating one aspect of the sentence structure. In other words, you will learn everything you need to know about the use of “be” verbs in Farsi, one section at a time. Just like English, the “be” verb is used in Farsi to talk about things like name, occupation, nationality, quality, emotions, time, and place. Therefore, with the knowledge you gain, you create a solid foundation to master conversational Farsi.

”We were introduced to Mrs. Bahareh a year ago by some friends. My son Nima was adamant about learning Farsi and asked for months so we were thrilled to find a teacher that could do it online due to our busy schedules.
Well let me tell you that we hit the jackpot with Bahareh. She is such an amazing teacher and person. My son loooooves doing his lessons with her and looks forward to them each week. He is self motivated and within a short time he has mastered so much. Bahareh's patience and kindness and of course knowledge just brings out the best in Nima and keeps him motivated to make progress. He is already mastered the alphabet and he is now reading and writing which is amazing. Seeing the progress her brother has made, now my daughter Leila has requested to take lessons with her. She is encouraging and so easy to work with and for anyone thinking of learning Farsi themselves or for their child, I highly recommend taking lessons with Bahareh. Hands down a 10 out of 10.”

Maryam S. l Sacramento, CA

“I do not know if it is possible to describe the magic of Bahareh in a few words, but here I go...

I have been taking classes with Bahareh for over a year now, and I have never had so much fun learning! Bahareh truly cares about each individual student and their needs. She spends time to get to know you and learn about your interests and structures each lesson around fun conversations. Most lessons I feel like I am talking to a long-lost friend. She always celebrates what I have done right and when I have misspoken overs me so many examples and tells me about the specific chapters in her books that I can reference to practice and learn more. She is so encouraging and truly loves languages. I have grown so much in the year I have been studying with Bahareh and I am looking forward to more. Her books are incredibly informative, have so many interesting examples and cultural references, and following the story of Pishi and Pasha is so cute. You can tell Bahareh does everything with her full heart.

The gift that she has given me and shares with me goes beyond words. She has given me access to a heritage that I did not feel I could reach because I could not speak the language. I genuinely look forward to her class every week - it is the only time I can get out of bed early!!

100 out of 10 recommend. Do not hesitate - buy her books, book lessons with her. Bahareh is a rare gem of a person.”

Parsan S. l Seattle, WA

“I did Farsi tutoring with Bahareh for over a year (and own her books), and my skills have improved tremendously! I had taken a Farsi class prior to meeting Bahareh, so I had some background knowledge, but little comfort with speaking. Now, for the first time in my life, I am able to converse with my dad in his native language. It feels amazing, and it's all thanks to the work I did with Bahareh. She is so knowledgeable about Farsi, not just as a native speaker, but as someone who is clearly passionate about the language and has spent a lot of time studying it in depth. Moreover, she is a patient and personable teacher. I've studied six different languages at the university level, and she is easily one of the best instructors I've ever had. If you are looking for a Farsi teacher or Farsi learning materials, I strongly recommend Bahareh and her book series!”

Shina S. l Austin, TX

“Bahareh, makes learning Farsi fun. I have had other instructors that adopted a very strict and regimented approach that was based on memorization. These instructors discouraged me from learning and wanting to learn farsi. I still wanted to learn the language though to better communicate with my wife and her family. We were looking for answers to our dilemma; could I learn farsi in a fun interactive way? We tried Bahareh's class and were instantly welcomed as if we were family. The classes have been fun, interactive, and engaging. The progress that I am making because of Bahareh is very motivating and causes me to want to study the language more. My wife Setareh and I are very grateful to Bahareh for her efforts and diligence in teaching farsi. Thank you to Bahareh for all that she does!”

John M. l Manchester, NH

“I have been working with Bahareh for almost six months! I am amazed with her enthusiasm and never ending patience to teach Farsi! She is always encouraging and has a great sense of humour. She has both the right academic background and a lot of practical experience as a Farsi teacher. I definetely recommend her for anybody who has intention to study Farsi!

As my wife is orginally from Iran that's the reason I decided to spend time and energy to learn Farsi. My intention was to communicate with people in Farsi language. As I have a full time job and a family that keeps me very busy, I was wondering how easy it would be to achieve my goal. There Bahareh enters the picture!

She has excellent documents for Latin alphabet readers. "Ready to go" grammer charts that saves a lot of time. Very well organised communication sheets, word sheets etc. She even wrote a book for students who are learning Farsi! More than anything else she knows what to teach when! There is a systemetic approach that makes life easier for people like me.

I am surprised with myself how much progress I made within such a short period of time thanks to Bahareh! I am looking forward to our next sessions.”

Ekrem Y. l Istanbul, Turkey

“Bahareh joon does a tremendous job not only as my Farsi teacher but also as an advocate of the Persian culture and Farsi language. I can’t thank her enough for all of the personal advancement she has mentored me. Her books are so helpful as well. All of her online content is very relevant, educational and she somehow makes it all fun. Not to mention always with a smile on her face! I appreciate her, how much she has tailored to my personal experience and I always look forward to our classes together. Kheyli mamnunam Bahareh joon! :) ”

Sama L. l Newport Beach, CA

“I was guessing when I selected Bahareh as my Farsi teacher, but my guess has turned out to be far far better than I ever expected. Bahareh has been ideal for me. She is inventive, extremely well prepared, but so flexible that we are able to decide during the course of each lesson what we're going to focus on that week. She has provided me with materials both in writing and well as recordings of the materials we've covered in each lesson. For me, the aural materials are paramount, and without them I wouldn't have learned as much from her as I have. She has also contextualized the language in terms of contemporary Iranian culture and habits. Unlike other language resources that focus exclusively on literary, formal Farsi, with me she has emphasized the colloquial language. But, she's also made sure that I know the difference between the two. It's been a total pleasure working with her, and I've looked forward to our lessons each week.”

Eran F. l Providence, RI

“We have been taking Farsi classes with Bahareh joon for a few months now. We can already tell the difference in our twins confidence and skills. Bahareh joon has great patience with the learning process which inspires confidence in our learners. Her passion is full force when teaching and it shows! As a great language teacher she explains key language concepts, patterns, and ideas in ways that our children can relate to, enjoy, and apply in real-life situations. They love speaking to their grandparents and practicing their newly acquired conversational skills. She inspires us, lifts our spirits with her passion and leaves us with a positive feeling for the whole day! We are so grateful for Bahareh joon!”

Michelle S. l Morgan Hill, CA

“I started classes with Bahareh joon to learn Farsi so I can speak to my boyfriend, his family, and our friends. I have picked up a little here and there from all of them but I really wanted to find a class to help me focus. I'm not someone who learns a language easily, but I feel like I'm grasping Farsi and really starting to remember sentence structuring and verbs. Bahareh is so patient and encouraging! I highly recommend taking classes from her!!!”

Gabrielle B. l Pittsburgh, PA

“We are so happy that we found Bahareh! She is an excellent teacher: positive, fun and engaging. She is always prepared with well organized materials, she is very patient and gives age appropriate assignments and feedback. She cares that you are improving with your language goals and moving forward.”

Monica P. l New York, NY

“Bahareh is the perfect language teacher for me! Not only is she an expert teacher, but she approaches learning in a relaxed, positive way. She has helped me build confidence with my Farsi in only 20 lessons. Plus, she has developed her own language-learning resources to help me continue to learn on my own time. She's organized, attentive to detail, and FUN! Che mo’allem khubi!”

Mia Y. l Seattle, WA

“Bahareh is a great teacher. She is patient and tailors lessons to my needs. She is very attentive and always challenges me to be better. She is reliable and always answers my questions when I need help.I enjoy my lessons with her! I highly recommend her for those who need help in English and Farsi.”

Hami D. l Memphis, TN

“Bahareh is a terrific Farsi teacher and I am very grateful I have found her. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but you can tell she is extremely passionate about what she does. I personally love how she shares important aspects of the Persian culture while teaching the language so that you can fully understand Farsi for what it is. This makes me feel really engaged in our lessons. Learning a new language can be intimidating, but Bahareh makes it less stressful and more fun. She is also excellent with understanding that each student will grow at their own pace. Her flawless instruction, kindness, and wealth of knowledge are just a few of the many reasons I continue to take lessons with her! Thank you Bahareh!!”

Kimia M. l Walnut Creek, CA

“I used Bahareh Teaches Farsi to learn the fundamentals of English grammar. All I have to say is that Dr. Bahareh has surpassed all my expectations!!! I’m beyond thankful to have such a knowledgeable, caring, kind and a competent teacher. Dr. Bahareh focuses on person-centered education to understand the unique goals and needs of each student, and based on that she creates unique personalized sessions. Dr. Bahareh’s PowerPoint presentation slides, books and passages have tremendously helped me to improve my skills. I’m beyond grateful to have chosen Dr. Bahareh as my English teacher. Thank you Dr. Bahareh!!!”

Zaven M. l California

“My 3 kids are loving their Farsi lessons with Bahareh! She’s patient, kind and has a way into their hearts that keeps them engaged. They have minimal exposure to Farsi on a daily basis but yet they try to use the words that they learn and they pay attention and ask me questions to make sure they are speaking it properly. Bahareh has perfected teaching Farsi over zoom and although my kids are in 3 different age groups with my youngest being only 6, they all participate and have a great time during class. The material is very learner friendly and she’s detailed and prompt in providing all the materials. I highly recommend Bahareh to anyone who is interested to learn Farsi!”

Ayda S. l Morgan Hill, CA

“When we decided we wanted to learn Farsi, we knew we needed to find a good teacher. When we found Mrs. Bahareh, we realized 'good' doesn't even begin to describe her. She is dedicated, her style of teaching is exceptional, and her sweetness makes you feel like you have known her for years. No matter how long you take classes with her, every class you learn something new. One thing we love, is how she wants the student's input. She cares about how you want to practice during the week. She truly sets you up for success. We are so so so grateful and blessed to have her as a Farsi teacher and absolutely, without a doubt recommend her to anyone who is interested in learning Farsi. FIVE STARS!! Thank you for all you do Mrs. Bahareh! :)”
