We are planning to start the online classes at 9 PM Yerevan time. This time is
mainly comfortable for the students from European and American countries.
Depending on applicants' geography, the time may be changed, and all
applicants will be informed about the time changes before the course. 

The 3 hours class of each day will be divided into the following sections:

First class - Homework and discussion

During the Pahlavi classes, the following components will be covered every
