“I don’t think I’ll ever rave about Yashar enough. I decided a month ago to take on the challenge of learning Farsi before my upcoming trip to Iran. I posed the challenge to Yashar, and now just 48 hrs before my flight departs I must say there’d no one more apt at the job than Yashar!! A lot of heart goes into his course preparation. New grammar concepts are always thoughtfully embedded in the materials prepared so that introduction will flow with ease from one to another. I especially appreciate his sharing of Haft Sang, a TV series to help me warm up to the rhythm of speech prior to my departure. The 12 lessons we’ve had have led me beyond where I imagined I could land in a month, and Yashar has been more than supportive like a friend. I do sincerely wish more classes are like this! My deepest appreciation for your work Yashar. May many more have the opportunity to be led through the door of Farsi by you!!”

“I think that my teacher is awesome! He is very skilled and able to answer all of my questions. He is funny but at the same time able to teach me. He also has a very good method!!!!”
