Recruiting Persian Language Teacher
Rainbow - Language in Business is a language centre based in London. They are in the process of recruiting full-time and part-time Persian teachers. Contact them if you are a graduate or postgraduate student and interested in teaching Persian language on a part-time or full-time basis.
Just out of interest checked their website.How come a language school writes Farsi instead of Persian? interesting for me.

It's strange isn't it? I think Iranians themselves are the source of the problem. For example, a lot of Assylum seekers do not know that "Persian" is name of their language in English. When they're asked what language they speak, they simply say "Farsi". Whereas the Germans, Greeks, Arabs, ... never or very rarely use Deutsch, Ellinika, Al-Arabiah ... in an English context.
I met a second generation Iranian-American kid who thought Persian and Farsi are totally different things. He strictly used Persian for carpets, and Farsi for the language, without knowing that those were the same words!

that's true what LP said but why don't we take these kinda matters more seriously and make sure we sell our culture and heritage in the right way! don't you think we need to let them rectify their mistake?I do believe as a language school they should have enuogh knowledge themselves but if they need help,we will help them.

using Farsi instead of Persian (in an english text) has two reasons:
1- Ignorance
2- Illiteracy
