This course will continue the study of modern Persian begun
Elementary Persian I. We will study the compound verb and verbal
tenses beyond the simple past and present. We will learn how to
put together compound and complex sentences and add another
three hundred or so to our active vocabulary. Written and oral
drills, graded readings and short written compositions,
translation exercises and simple conversations will all play
their role in gaining a thorough command of these elements of
the language. Thackston, Wheeler M. An Introduction to Persian.
