Gordon Said:

My student speaks only persian. Where can I get software in Persian for him to learn english?

We Answered:

I assume you mean Farsi rather than 'persian'.

I suggest that you consult an ESL qualified teacher. Trying to do this on your own is a disservice to the student. If the student is a minor and in the United States [left some bits out didn't you?], she or he is likely entitled to free ESL support through the local public school system.

This free support extends to students enrolled in private and charter schools even though they may not be under the control of the local school board. [I do not know if minor students enrolled in religious schools are also entitled, and they may be.]

***
If you are going to continue the computer route, you'll also want the Farsi fonts available from MicroSoft -- these can be searched for at update.microsoft.com

worksheets for a Japanese person to learn better English, online?

We Answered:

Homonyms - Spelling and Dictation

Phrasal verbs - I have some worksheets that I made for Korean kids (all in English! Don't worry.) I think you can take a look at it and edit it to suit her. There might be some errors as I didn't proof-read it before printing it out. Email me at victimofsleep@yahoo.com.sg
You can also ask her to try this. http://smart.fm/goals/310364

Common phrases - When you think of some common phrases that she might not know, take it down. So far I have the following phrases. I teach them to my Korean students, and then ask them to write it down on postcards, which is to be pasted on their bedroom walls.

True enough
You're the one to speak
as of now
no less eg no less afraid
you had it coming
That's Yvonne for you
Thought we have seen the last of him
but you are a different story
learn by heart
you're pushig your luck
she has only herself to blame
to each his own
serves you right
on tenterhooks
play dumb
jump to his defence
jump to conclusions
shake the feeling off
put a stop to

You can also use short funny videos on Youtube like The Annoying Orange or something.

Virgil Said:

My teacher makes me learn english by doing worksheet. I don't get how do this.?

We Answered:

1. For one, the menu with all its strange dishes IS always amusing.
(plural nouns ARE, a single noun IS)

2. The food with all OF its ingredients makes people talk and laugh together.
(I dunno about this one)

3. Also, many dishes, like braised broccoli, ARE actually good for you.

4. Good for you or not, a salad of turnips, raw spinach, and dandelion greens DOES not get many takers.

5 .There AREN'T many orders for the chef's high-protein earthworm omelet, either.

6. Maybe your school lunch, even with all OF its problems, sounds better to you than the food at the Daft cafe.
