About Me
Hello. I'm Fattaneh. I've lived in different countries and have been in Spain since 2022. Living in different countries has been a catalyst for language exchange. I've made non-Persian-speaking friends who were interested in learning Persian words, and I was happy to introduce someone to the authentic Iranian customs and culture, especially when I talked about Nowruz. When the pandemic started and everyone was confined to their homes, I decided to make teaching my main profession. To this end, I started teaching different methods of teaching Persian to children and adults and through this teaching, I turned my life around. Thank God, until now (which is about six years), I've been teaching Persian and enjoying it.
Teaching Method
In my class, everything depends on the student's desire. Whether they want to learn grammar or just speak, or practice writing alongside speaking, or any other desire, of course, the teaching method is definitely different. The method that students who can speak Persian a little usually welcome is that they are given a topic, and the class is conducted in a question-and-answer format. With this method, the student has enough opportunity to speak, and they also learn a lot of words and phrases related to that topic. For young children, the teaching method starts with learning the alphabet from the shape of the alphabet. Also, the necessary words along with their shapes. This way, even if they can't read, by seeing the shape of a mountain, for example, they understand that it is a mountain. I teach children short sentences: like I like or I don't like. When a child sees the shape of a mountain, they can say I like mountains. Then I teach them to say I like/dislike going to the mountains. I like/dislike mountaineering. In this way, without getting the child's mind involved in grammar (present, past, and future), they learn to construct sentences correctly.
