Āmūzish-i Āsān-i Fārsī Darī 1 (Hurūf-i Alifbā)

Teaching the mother tongue to our children abroad is not only a cultural imperative but also crucial for maintaining their identity. To facilitate effective language learning, it is essential to provide suitable and accessible instructional materials. The resources previously utilized by respected teachers and parents abroad typically include textbooks from Afghanistan or educational materials from our Iranian counterparts, each possessing unique advantages and limitations. With these considerations in mind, and drawing from my extensive teaching experience in Finnish public schools as well as in Afghanistan and Iran, I have developed this educational book for you. Students enrolled in mother tongue courses in public schools of non-Persian speaking countries often find it challenging to adapt to the conventional educational systems of their native countries. In response, this book, along with others I have authored, aims to simplify and improve the presentation of materials. These methods address key aspects of the Persian language, including common errors such as beginning a notebook from the left for exercises and writing from left to right, ensuring all such points are thoroughly addressed. This book is structured into three chapters: The first chapter introduces the script's format. The second chapter focuses on alphabetic principles. The third chapter explores the combination of letters. Understanding these three chapters is vital for mastering the Persian alphabet, tailored specifically for our novice learners. Please note: In the first section, alongside the alphabet, a blank space has been provided where esteemed instructors can aid in the pronunciation of Persian letters by incorporating characters from other languages (English, German, French, Swedish, Finnish, etc.) to fill these spaces. While this book strives to cover all essential aspects, it welcomes enhancements based on the valuable feedback and corrective suggestions from our esteemed educators and parents. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The book will be released in beginning of June 2024
