Hi, everybody,聽 I came聽 to Iran last year September and unfortunately i still can't speak the language although i understand a lot.

That makes me isolated. Well,聽 the story goes like this. When we moved to Iran,聽 our plan is to just stay here for a year and then we will go to聽 my country, Philippines and stay there for good.

聽 however,聽 we see that in Iran we can have our own business and that the future of our kids will be safe financially. I have been long away living in Europe so i really dont know the life in the Philippines.聽

The problem is that i am so dependent on my husband coz i dont speak farsi,聽 and for foreigner like me, did you have the same difficulties when you just arrived in Iran?

Do you think i should give it a try to live here for good? Well, im planning to learn the language at school...

In the future. But as of now,聽 im so lonely and so isolated.

Thanks, i will appreciate every advice.

See if there are any ladies' groups in your area, perhaps informal English clubs.
I have met few Iranians, but all had the same friendly, open nature, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

TanyaF,
Thank you. I聽 have books and cd to learn farsi,聽 but I am only good in classical way of learning and also when we came here, our plans is only for maximum one yr. stay so i was not motivated to learn the language. But I am slowly learning it, and i hope sooner i can communicate in Farsi.
And as of now, we are considering to live in聽 another country aside from my country and Iran.
Goodluck for learning farsi.聽 Hope to meet you someday.

I am at the moment teaching myself the best translater that I found was the Farsi Lonely Planet guide also you need to immerse yourself in the language lol I guess would be so much easier if more people spoke english, I guess I am lucky to have my husbands family here and his mother is my current translator. My goal is to be comfortable enough that I can leave the house by myself as I am someone who needs to work lol
