Hi Tajik learners! 😊

In this lesson, we will learn how to give our opinion in Tajik, which is an essential skill in any language. Tajik is a language of the Persian family, spoken mainly in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It shares many similarities with other Persian languages, and its grammar is relatively easy to learn.

Before we start, if you want to improve your Tajik find native speakers and ask them any questions. You can also check the Grammar section of the Polyglot Club website.
