Salam! Khosh amadid!
Hello everyone! I hope you are not giving up! How do you find the lessons? Are they getting difficult or still easy to follow? I am really trying hard to make the lessons as easy as possible. All I want you to do is a little cooperation, not too much! We are almost on our way. Do you remember what I told you during the first lessons? When there is a will, there is a way. There is no impossible if we are strong. Learning a language, like many other things, demands our patience and continuous work. Don’t get disappointed if you are still unable to clearly understand your Iranian friends during your night gatherings! You need more patience and I need more time to help you with this. You had strong motivation to stay with me for 23 weeks. So, don’t let it fade away. Remember, what stops you is a simple laziness not a busy time! No more preaching!!
Let’s begin.
Now that we are a little familiar with the combination of nouns with adjectives, I think it’s not a bad idea to learn some colors today.
The combination of colors and nouns is just the same as nouns with adjectives. That is to say, in normal speech, colors come after nouns. Let’s see some examples:
But before that, let me tell you that my ‘colorology’ (!!) is really terrible!
Let’s learn some of them now.
Red = 
/ghermez/.
Yellow = 
/zærd/.
Blue = 
/a:bi:/.
Green = 
/sæbz/.
White = 
/sefid/.
Black = 
/siya:h/.
Or 
/meshki:/.
Purple = 
/bænæfsh/.
Now lets’ see some examples:
A red flower = 
/gol-e- ghermez/.
A yellow car = 
/ma:shin-e- zærd/.
A blue door = 
/dær-e- a:bi:/.
A green tree = 
/derækht-e- sæbz/.
A white cat = 
/gorbeh ye sefid/.
A black dog = 
/sæg-e- siya:h/. Or 
/sæg-e- meshki:/.
Is it difficult? As you see, colors like other adjectives come after nouns.
All right, that’s the color.
Today, we are going to learn some more numbers.
We already know the numbers from 1 to 100 or maybe more. Today, we will learn the main numbers from 100 to 500.
I know most of us don’t really like learning the numbers of a language as it demands a different taste! But, this is part of a learning language procedure and we shouldn’t ignore it.
Ready?
100 = 
/sæd/.
200 = 
/devist/.
300 = 
/sisæd/.
400 = 
/chæha:r sæd/.
500 = 
/pa:nsæd/.
All right, that’s it for today.

Let’s write page is waiting for you if you want to see the main stress of the new words.
See you next week.
Khoda Hafez!

Hello Hassan!
Wow, what an amazing teacher you are, the best I have found on the Internet. But, I have a suggestion, which I’m not sure you have fulfilled yet. It’s about listening comprehensions. I’d love to have such so that I could start hearing full sentences in Farsi, and translating them in my head. One way could be to start speaking slowly and then, in more advanced lessons, you could speak in a normal speed how persians usually speak. I believe this could help the learners to get used to understanding Persian from hearing.
Thanks anyway, and congratulations for the amazing website! I’m going to continue!

سلام! Thank you for all these great lessons! I really enjoy them! I have one question, though:
What is the difference between سیاه and مشکی?
Thank you!

Hello Hassan ! I’m still here, learning every day, more motivated than ever :) Your lessons are great, exercises in the usefull drills are sometimes really long to do (writing is a very slow process for me) but I hope to keep the rythm for at least the 2 upcoming months…

Hi,
I have a question. What if we want to write A big green tree. This makes the sequence of adjective, noun and also a color. So how do we write it in Persian?
