Learning Persian (Farsi) becomes much easier—and more enjoyable—when learners actively use the language. One of the most effective ways to do this at the beginner level is through guided writing topics that can also be reused for speaking practice.
This guide provides 140 carefully curated Persian writing topics for beginners (levels A1-A2). These are specifically designed for:
- Absolute and lower-beginner Farsi learners.
- Heritage learners seeking low-stress, structured practice.
- Private students working 1-on-1 with a tutor.
- Workshop participants practicing in small groups.
Each topic below is suitable for writing practice and for guided conversation. Learners can first write a short paragraph, then read it aloud, expand it, and discuss the same topic with a teacher or classmates.
Time to read:
9–13 minutes

Why Writing Topics Matter for Beginner Persian Learners
At the beginner level, writing is not about perfection—it is about activation. When learners write, they:
- Strengthen vocabulary retention
- Internalize basic grammar patterns
- Build confidence in expressing meaning
- Prepare naturally for speaking
Writing and speaking should not be separated. A written paragraph can easily become:
- A conversation warm‑up
- A role‑play prompt
- A pronunciation exercise
- A confidence‑building dialogue in private lessons or workshops
How to Use These Topics (Writing + Speaking Practice)
These topics are flexible and teacher‑friendly. They work equally well for individual writing, 1‑on‑1 private lessons, and group workshops.
Step 1 – Write (10–20 minutes)
Write one short paragraph (8–12 simple sentences).
This length allows learners to:
- Reuse basic sentence patterns
- Practice vocabulary without pressure
- Add simple details (time, place, feelings)
- Build real communicative confidence
Focus on:
- Short, clear sentences
- Simple grammar (mainly present simple or past simple)
- Familiar words you already know
Perfection is not the goal. Clarity and completion are.
Step 2 – Read Aloud
Read your text aloud:
- Slowly and clearly
- Paying attention to pronunciation and rhythm
Step 3 – Speak (Private Lessons & Workshops)
In 1‑on‑1 private lessons, the teacher can:
- Ask follow‑up questions
- Help expand short answers
- Correct grammar and pronunciation gently
- Turn the paragraph into a natural conversation
In group classes, learners can:
- Read their texts aloud
- Answer simple questions
- Compare ideas using the same topic
- Practice listening while others speak
