Dari & English
Course Overview
This is the course we recommend to every learner who says “I want to study, but my English is weak.” Every explanation is given in Dari, every new word is written and pronounced slowly, and every lesson ends with a short exercise you can finish in ten minutes. By the end you can introduce yourself, ask for what you need, read simple English text and understand the basics of grammar well enough to continue into our intermediate track.
What you will be able to do
- Read and write the English alphabet and 800 common words
- Introduce yourself and hold a simple conversation
- Understand present, past and future tense
- Sit our placement test and move into Intermediate English
