The grade-9 habit 🌟
To master this vocabulary, link every word to **all three** of its forms: the **Persian script**, the **transliteration** so you can say it, and the **English meaning**. Keep the ideas that are easy to confuse clearly apart - an **آرزو (arezu)**, your ambition, versus a real **حرفه (herfe)**, the career you build - and link the study words (**دانشگاه**, **کارآموزی**) to the goal. Reading each word right to left, saying it aloud, and testing yourself both ways is what builds real recall.
