Hello everyone, welcome back!
I hope you have studied the previous lessons well. As you know, we are so close to the end of part one, which is learning the vowels and letters. I request you to try hard to get fluent in recognizing the letters and pronouncing them with the help of the vowels if you haven’t done it before. After part one is over, we will begin to combine the letters to make single words. Then, we will start combining the words to make sentences. You see, we have got lots of things to do later. Therefore, we may not have enough time to come back to these basics again. That’s why I am asking you on and on to learn these basics first, which will enable us to move faster during our next lessons.
Now let’s begin.
So far we have learned 22 letters, which I hope are not difficult to cope with. As always, let’s review the letters we learned last week before we start today. Last week we learned four letters. Do you remember them? Good! They are , , , . Click here if you need to listen to them once more.

This website has been very helpful in learning farsi.
Thank you for making this.
for suggestions. Can you put in a ‘Next Lesson’ button or ‘Previous Lesson’ button on every lesson page. It will be easier to navigate

I deeply agree with Priyanka. It should be a “next” and “previous” button

This site has been very helpful! But I think it would be easier if there was some sort of a test!!! There is a Test on recognizing the letters but what about a test for recognizing the sounds of the letters and which sound goes to which letter! :)

This website has been very helpful. I’m really enjoying the learning process. It didn’t take much effort to master the first seven lessons. It only took me half an hour because my first language is Urdu – a derivative of persian, arabic and turkish.
