Learning Persian

 

 

 

 

Persian is the official language of Iran which is widely spoken in this country. Persian has a 32-letter alphabet, Modern Iranian Persian and Afghan Persian are written using the Persian alphabet which is a modified variant of the Arabic alphabet, which uses different pronunciation and additional letters not found in Arabic language. Persian is spoken today primarily in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikestan, but was historically a more widely understood language in an area ranging from the Middle East to India. Persian is a literary language and numerous poets, writers and historians shine brightly through its history.

As a student of KMU, you are required to achieve a certain level of proficiency in Persian because most majors and programs require students to closely work with patients who speak Persian. For this purpose, the Language Center of KMU provides Persian language classes to all of its international students.
