Hello Shemtov, are you also going to make a thread for your other TAC target languages (or add them to this one) and join the middle-eastern team? Or is Turkish your top priority? Anyway, good luck for TAC 2013!

Did unit 14 of Pimsleur Farsi Today nd watched 30 minutes of a Persian movie.
I m currently researching programs to help me read Persian. I hve already found book tht I am using to learn the Arabic alphabet, so tht should be of help becuse of common letters. However, I m still trying too find something for the alefbaye farsi.

You could try easypersian.com for the alphabet, that's how I started learning it. The lessons are fairly solid, although I remember that his handwriting confused me a lot at the beginning. But if you push through all the alphabet lessons it'll gradually become clearer how it all works, especially if you have another source to double-check against.

Hi Shemtov,

For Persian, there's a podcast out there called
Chai and Conversation that has what I
consider to be a good, easily doable format.

They only have 30 lessons, but they're helpful, every day things.

What Persian movie were you watching?

I also learned the alphabet through EasyPersian, as was suggested to you above. Great to see another Persian
learner on our Team Alef!

The Willow Tree.
I spent some time reviewing/learning the Persian Cardinal Numerals 1-999, followed by me learning how to make Ordinals.


Meanwhile, in Turkish I learned the following Vocab:
mutlak
konuşmak
-ecek
öğrenmek

Now I can say "Türkçe öğreniyorum"
