Expertise
I can answer questions about the usage and meaning of Persian words, proverbs, and idioms asked in Persian or English. Controversial grammatical issues are beyond my knowledge. In addition, I cannot corroborate my answer to a question about newly coined slang words. PLEASE do not ask me to translate more than 1 or 2 sentences.
Experience in the area
Persian language is my mother tongue; however, my knowledge is remarkably more than a mere native speaker.
Education/Credentials
BSc In Mechanical Eng.
