The Flipped Classroom is a modern learning approach that helps you get the most out of your live sessions. It works in two steps:

1. Prepare: Before each live class, you’ll study specific lessons from your self-paced course to learn new vocabulary and grammar.
2. Practice: You then join the live Zoom session to actively practice what you’ve learned through conversation, get real-time feedback from Dr. Leila, and ask questions. This way, we don’t waste precious live time on lectures; we use it for what matters most—interactive practice.

When you register for a workshop, you receive:

• One-year access to the corresponding self-paced online course as a gift 🎁.
• Participation in all scheduled live group sessions on Zoom (typically 16 sessions of 1.5 hours each).
• Small class sizes (maximum of 6 students) for personalized attention.
• Access to recordings of any live sessions you miss.

We offer workshops for different levels and interests.

1. Our “Let’s Learn Persian Together” (A1 – A2) workshops are perfect for beginner and elementary students who want live practice and expert guidance.
2. Our Thematic Workshops (like ‘Damavand’ or ‘Deserts of Iran’) are ideal for intermediate learners who have a solid foundation and want to explore specific cultural topics while expanding their vocabulary.
3. Our Literature Workshops (like Golestan of Sa’di) are designed for advanced learners who want to delve into classical Persian texts with an expert.

Our workshops are capped at 6 participants, creating an intimate setting that fosters a more engaging and productive learning environment. This small group size ensures everyone has the opportunity to participate in discussions, ask questions, and get the most out of the interactive learning experience.

No problem! We understand that life can be busy. Every live workshop session is recorded. A link to the recording will be made available to all enrolled students, so you can catch up on anything you missed at your convenience.

All you need is a stable internet connection and the Zoom application installed on your device. To get the full interactive experience, we also recommend using a device with a working camera and microphone.

For our core language workshops (e.g., A1 & A2): We strongly recommend joining from a desktop computer or tablet. A larger screen makes a big difference during our interactive activities, allowing you to comfortably view shared materials (like the course lesson page), the instructor, and your classmates simultaneously. While it is possible to join from a smartphone, the experience may be limited.

To ensure a productive and positive learning environment for everyone, we kindly ask participants to follow these guidelines:

Technology and Access:

• We use Zoom for our workshops. Meeting ID and password information will be sent to your email 10 minutes before the class begins.
• Please ensure you have a stable internet connection and a device with Zoom installed to participate.

Attendance and Participation:

• We encourage you to attend on time to get the most out of the workshop.
• Unfortunately, due to the live, interactive nature of the workshops, we cannot offer cancellations, rescheduling, or refunds for late arrivals. However, you are still welcome to join the class in progress.
• The workshop duration is based on the specific program and will not be adjusted based on individual participation.

Respectful Conduct:

• We foster a respectful and inclusive learning environment. This means being considerate of your fellow students and instructor by refraining from behaviors like harassment, discrimination, or anything disruptive to the group experience.
• Instructors reserve the right to remove participants who violate these guidelines. Please note that participants who are warned or removed from class for inappropriate behavior will not be eligible for a credit or refund.

Camera Usage:

Participation with your camera on is encouraged, but not mandatory.
