Essential vocabulary and grammar for daily life.
Discussion, opinion and everyday professional exchange.
Fluent communication for academic and professional settings.
Our Yazidis in Conversation programme runs continuously and accepts students year-round. It pairs you with a fluent speaker for a weekly hour of practice — a good way to keep improving between semesters.
No. Every course we run is free, and always will be.
Our courses are for members of the Yazidi community whose education was disrupted. Students of all ages and all levels, from complete beginner to advanced, are welcome.
A device — laptop, tablet or smartphone — and an internet connection. If you do not have a device, see our device programme.
Attendance is the gate: you need 80% attendance to receive anything at all. With 80% attendance and a passed end-of-course test you receive a Certificate of Completion. With 80% attendance but no pass, you receive a Certificate of Participation. Below 80%, no certificate is issued.
We have awarded 300 certificates since 2023.
