Since the birth of my son, I have had to switch my English speaking brain to a Persian thinking brain.
Not only did I have to learn new vocabulary irrelevant words- but I have had to structure sentences that I have never used before.
Who would have thought that one day I would be thinking in Persian?
Some sentences I have had to construct in Persian....
"Look, a snail!"
Negáh kon, halazún
"Please don't pee while I take off your diaper!"
Lotfan jísh nakon vaghtí nappíyet o dar míyáram
"Kindly refrain from urinating in the bathtub!!"
Lotfan túyeh ván jísh nakon
"Dont take your pants off"
Shalváreto dar nayár!!!!
# facepalm
Sigh......

For the first time, Persian and non-Persian parents can teach their children Farsi using the familiar phonetics of the English alphabet (finglisi). To cater to the next generation of multi-lingual and multi-national families, the series are available in book and e-Book form with interactive audio pronunciation and inviting, colourful images.
The perfect gift for Persian New Year!
