Talk about thread necromancy Dip. It's good in this case though, cause I never would have found this useful thread otherwise.

Far and away the best book for getting started is Farhad Sobhani�s �Persisches Lehr- und Lesebuch� (Walter de Gruyter, Berlin, 1962), which was still available from Amazon.de last time I checked, and which comes with some invaluable if not lengthy recorded material as well. Dear professor, I'm afraid it doesn't. I followed your advice and just got Sobhani's book mailed to me, but there is no audio, just a mention that "Die Lektionen 1-23 (ab Lektion 18 nur Lesestücke), Lektion 41, 52, 61, 66 und Lesestück Seite 225-231 kann man auch von Schallplatten abhören. Sie sind zu einem Ladenpreis von 32 DM erhältlich." Any idea where I can get hold of this audio (in some contemporary format such as CD or mp3? I agree with you the book looks very promising, but without the audio material, it's bound to be less useful. May I ask you where you got the audio? I assume you didn't sit and listen to 40 year-old records? Any information as to this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for a very interesting site. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Persian/Farsi is a language that I re-visit again and again. It is as the good Prof. Ar. claims a wonderful gateway language. I learned Turkish first and was delighted at the shared vocabulary between the two. Spoken Persian is absolutely BEAUTIFUL to hear. Native Persian speakers are very impressed with English speakers that attempt to learn Persian. I remember years ago I wrote an Iranian friend's name on a birthday card in Nashkh script and he was so happy, he almost burst into tears ( with a huge smile on his face!) Learn as much Persian as you can as it opens up a huge world towards the wonderful Iranian/Afghani/Tajik people! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry for using this thread, I can't open a new one.
Similarities between Hebrew and Persian? I've been studying Modern Hebrew for a while and now I want to start learning Persian. I read that there are quite a few words from Arabic in Persian and Hebrew and Arabic also share words and roots... I've already noticed that the two languages share some letters (in name and function, not in form). Does anyone have experience with both Hebrew and Persian? I'm wondering if there's going to be a noticeable percentage of similar words and if it's easy to mix them up or not. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Phonetically speaking I do not believe Persian to be challenging for speakers of any
European language � depending on your precise background, there may be a trouble spot here or there, but I do not think there are any sounds in Persian that are not found in most of the major European languages. Do you think the long vowel آ exists in English? I am afraid no. Could someone please provide a mimium vocabulary list of Persian with phonetic symbols and English definition? I want to build my vocabulary. Many thanks! Edited by cheers100 on 11 June 2013 at 1:16am 1 person has voted this message useful |
