This course extends from Introductory Persian A. Students will develop their skills in reading, writing and conversation and undertake translation from and into Persian at a higher introductory level. Students will develop a larger vocabulary relating to a wider range of topics, building on their studies in Introductory Persian A. Students from other institutions around Australia or internationally may elect to enrol cross-institutionally in the online course.

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- read Persian texts in simple and calligraphic styles containing frequent structural forms and patterns with confidence;
- speak with understandable pronunciation and initiate and maintain predictable face-to-face conversations on personal, everyday and cultural topics with a demonstrated knowledge of social courtesy demands;
