god help me. So for my exams in Persian language i have to translate like 30 pages and i decided to translate “a time to love and a time to die” or  “ زمانی برای عشق ورزیدن و زمانی برای مردن ” or as we call it in Bulgarian “Време да се живее време да се мре” which means : time for living and time for dying. It is full of jokes and stuff ofc but also military vocabulary i am not familiar with even in my native language. Also my professor told me i shouldn’t be translating this nut i am already 10 pages deep in translation so i don’t care i guess.

Ted Talks in Persian

It’s not easy to find Persian-subtitled Persian videos - useful for both learners and the Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing. So, I was thrilled to find that a number of TedX events in Iran (Tehran, Kish, and others) have subtitled videos of their talks online.

(For whatever reason, Youtube will let you search for videos with captions, but not for specific language captions...)

Some videos have Persian subtitles, some have English subtitles, some have both. It’s many hours of content on a wide variety of different topics. Enjoy!

about Farsi/Persian

Okay so I though maybe I can start teaching farsi in this blog and see what happens. I noticed for people who want ton learn the language there is not a lot of resources so people usually give up. I’m going to give an introduction about the language with my knowledge.

So the Persian language is a very old language older than English. Since Persia is older than Europe it self. It went through many phases and writing systems. You’ll be surprised if you knew hoe many English words come from Persian.

It is an Indo-European language and unlike what most people think it in not related to Arabic at all.  The script is the same true, but it is a whole different language. Like English and Spanish. The farsi we use in Iran borrowed words from Arabic (while messing up the pronunciation), French, Russian and Turkish.

It is manly spoken in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. But they use different farsi. Iran uses Farsi while Afghanistan uses Dari farsi and Tajikistan uses Tajiki Farsi. They are some how different in grammar, pronunciation and the usage of words. But people from these three  country can understand each other. I am Iranian and I can perfectly understand Dari  with no problem before we studied the grammar in elementary school. In Iran we say Dari is older dan farsi and tajiki is a bit older than that since the writing is also different. And I’ve noticed that Dari uses lesser Arabic words that Farsi.

Although the script is the same with Arabic with don’t follow the same rules of pronunciation for each letter and also we don’t have all of the alphabet and we also have 4 more that doesn’t exist in arabic alphabet. 

I believe farsi is a lot easier than arabic in the terms of pronunciation but grammar …hmmm we go easy with that. Just use the verb wherever you like it doesn’t matter.

The writing is from right to left. I know it might be confusing I even when I started learning farsi I wrote from left to right because I learned how to write in English first. My mom had a hard time with me to fix this issue. 

the next post imma teach the alphabet.
