The world of work 💼
This module teaches the Persian words for **work, careers and the places people work**. Every word comes with three things: the **Persian script**, a **transliteration** in brackets to help you say it, and the **English meaning**. Remember that Persian is read **right to left**.

Learn each with its script AND transliteration, and you will recognise them instantly in the exam.
