Persian speakers learning English: FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions about learning English if your native language is Persian.
How long does it take a Persian speaker to learn English?
Persian speakers typically need around 1100 hours to reach English fluency. Persian and English have different scripts, different word order, and no shared vocabulary — but Persian grammar is less complex than Arabic, which helps somewhat.
What is the hardest part of English for Persian speakers?
Word order is the biggest challenge — Persian always ends with the verb. The he/she/it gender distinction is also very confusing because Persian uses one pronoun for all genders. Articles are a persistent challenge throughout the learning journey.
Is there shared vocabulary between Persian and English?
Persian has borrowed some English words, especially in technology and modern life. English has also borrowed a few Persian words — 'bazaar', 'caravan', 'chess', and 'paradise' all come from Persian. This shared vocabulary is small but provides some useful anchors.
