Pronunciation The regular letters used for written Persian stand for some different sounds. It is usually difficult to tell how a word is pronounced just by looking at how it is spelled. Therefore, it is useful to show the pronunciation of each word separately, using a system of symbols in which each symbol stands for one sound only. The pronunciations of letters and words are given within two slashes. This book uses a simple spelling system to show how letters and words are pronounced, using the symbols listed below.

‫ َالِفبایِ فارسی‬:1 ِ‫روز‬ Day 1: Farsi Alphabet: Most Common Letters The Farsi alphabet (Farsi: /alefbâye fârsi/ ‫ )الفبای فارسی‬consists 32 letters, most of which have two forms, short and full. In Farsi, words are written from right to left while numbers are written from left to right. Farsi is a writing style based on the Arabic script. It is entirely written cursively. That is, the majority of letters in a word connect to each other. Therefore, the appearance of a letter changes depending on its position, beginning (joined on the left), middle (joined on both sides), end (joined on the right) of a word and some letters are written isolated. This writing style is also implemented on computers. Whenever the Farsi script is typed, the computer connects the letters to each other. In the first three days, you learn how to write and read Farsi language. We first begin with the most common Farsi letters.
