Easy Persian


first lesson (sample)

اقتباس Lesson 1 (Start from the very beginning!) This is the first Farsi lesson. For those who are, to some extent, familiar with these basics of Persian ********, it might seem redundant. Nevertheless, as mentioned above, we are going to learn Persian from the very scratch that I think will be more helpful. Little by little, we will make great progress to begin advanced Persian that will let you communicate with others in Persian in both oral and written. In near future, you will find yourself speaking, reading, and even writing in Persian. These all can only be achieved through practicing these simple steps, which make learning as easy as possible. Like anything else, you'll have to learn some basics first, and it's inevitable! In these lessons, I have tried hard to simplify the rules as much as possible. However, it's a new ******** for you and requires at least a little bit of effort if not very much! All you have to do is be patient and follow the instructions one by one. In the meantime, we are going to learn the Persian letters and the way they are pronounced and of course we will do it step by step to make sure that everything is quite clear. After you got a little familiarity with some basics you would see that it's really as easy as 1, 2, 3. 1. Unlike western ********s, Persian is written and read from right to left. 2. Persian consists of 32 letters. Some of them have small and big form like A / a in English while others have only one form. You don't need to memorize all of them now. Just be patient enough to learn it one by one. In the end you'll see your progress. 3. As you know, English words cannot be pronounced without these five letters: A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y as in BY. These are called vowels. In Persian, however, there are no letters considered as vowels. Instead, we put some sounds on or under the letters to make them readable. There are six main sounds in Persian recognized as vowels, three short vowels and three long vowels. Remember that these are not letters. These are sounds that come with letters and make them pronounceable. Today we will learn short vowels. The representatives (symbols) of these sounds (vowels) are as follows: 1- Do you see the small symbol on A? If this sign sits on a letter, the letter will be pronounced as /æ/ in dad. 2- If this sign, which is exactly written in the same way as in number one, sits under a letter, it will be pronounced as /e/ in set. 3- If this sign, which has a circle on his head, sits on a letter, it will be pronounced as /o/ in border. Note: this sign sits on the letters only. These three sounds are called short vowels. Now that you are familiar with these three short vowels you are ready to learn a couple of letters to practice with these sounds.

Lesson Two - Long Vowels

please read the previous lesson to understand this

if you have any difficulties please don't hesitate to ask

اقتباس How was lesson one? Was everything clear? If not, please let me know. week, we learned many things, such as short vowels, three big letters along with their small forms, the correct pronunciation of the letters and so on. We also learned how to write these letters. Do you remember those letters? Perfect! Now try to review them before we proceed Today, we are going to learn long vowels with the help of the same letters. Then, you will be able to pronounce each letter with six vowels (sounds, as used more frequent in Persian). From now on, make the habit of pronouncing each letter with these six vowels. If this is correctly done, you will become unbelievably fluent in learning and pronouncing the letters Ready? Let's begin! As you know, we have three long vowels in Persian. Although we can put some signs on or under the letters as we did it with the short vowels, I am trying to avoid doing this with the long vowels here. Therefore, we are not going to put some symbols on or under the letters. We can find these long vowels by detecting some letters. This will make it easier. If you remember, I told you that all big letters come at the end of the words and may stand either attached or separated from other letters with only one exception. Today, we will see that exception Look at this letter. This is the big letter 'A' in Persian, which unlike all other big letters comes at the beginning of the words only. Do you still remember the big letter B and P? As you remember, they come at the end of the words and may stand either attached or separated from other letters. But, here, the big letter (the only exception) does not attach to other letters. It stands separated only The pronunciation of this letter is not so difficult. It has only one pronunciation, and does not accept any other short and long vowels. You have to pronounce it as /a:/ in arm In one word, this is the big letter 'A' in Persian and pronounced as /a:/ in arm Is that clear? If you need to know how the big letter is pronounced in Persian, click here to listen. Ok This one is the small letter 'a' in Persian. It may appear anywhere in words: beginning, middle, and in the end. This letter can accept all six main vowels, including short and long vowels Now that we are familiar with the long vowel /a:/ in Persian, we are ready to learn two other long vowels. Those are /i:/ as in see. And /u:/ as in two This is the big letter 'Y' in Persian. Only this letter can be pronounced as /i:/ sound. /i:/ as in see Note: like all other big letters, this comes at the end of the words and may stand either attached or separated. This can be pronounced as /i:/ only when it is attached to other letters. This one is the small letter 'y' in Persian. Like all other small letters, it comes at the beginning or middle of the words and accepts all six vowels The last one is the long sound /u:/a As I told you before, some Persian letters have only one form. That is to say, their small and big forms are equal This letter is one of them. This is the only letter that may be pronounced as /u:/. /u:/ as in two I guess you may find these explanations a little bit confusing. Nevertheless, this is the only way to explain the long vowels. I am now trying to make it easier to understand through writing As you remember, this is 'B' in Persian: . Last week, we learned how to pronounce this letter with short vowels: . Toady we will pronounce it with the long vowels too 1- a this is pronounced as /ba:/ in barter. 2- a this is pronounced as /bi:/ in beat. 3-a this one is pronounced as /bu:/ in boot. Now, try to pronounce with the help of these three long vowels. You will say: . Need help? Click here to listen. Well done! Was it really difficult? Now, we pronounce the letter with the help of six main vowels. Ready? Don't forget to read from right to left Click here to listen] This is 'p' in Persian. Try to pronounce it with the six vowels. You will say: . Great job! If you need help, click here to listen] Finally, this is'T' in Persian. Try to pronounce it with the six vowels. You will say: Still need help? Click here All right. This is the end of lesson two.

sincerely yours
