About the author
Katya Monajemi (BA in the Persian language, BA in Cultural Anthropology with focus on Iran) has been actively teaching Persian for over 4 years and by now has helped 30+ students (of all ages and backgrounds) learn Persian for various purposes.
Having mastered her own Persian up to the level of a native speaker, she now helps others not only learn basic Persian, but also focus on pronunciation and spoken Persian at an advanced level.
People learn other languages to communicate, and that is Katya`s goal – to prepare her students to communicate with Iranians in real life.
