Persian With El◆Tabriz → MilanoTwo ways to read. The stories are graded, tap any word for its meaning, and they climb from A1 to C1 one rung at a time. The journal alongside them is written in plain English, with Persian woven through it.
The same people, one episode at a time. Follow a story and the vocabulary comes back on its own, which is the whole point of reading a series rather than twelve unrelated texts.
The same texts again, sorted by how hard they are rather than by story. Five rungs, A1 to C1, and this is what each one asks of you.
