Shekar: Learn Farsi/Persian

Learn to read and write Persian (the Farsi of Iran), starting from the very first letter. Shekar teaches Persian the way good textbooks do: a little at a time, in five-minute lessons, with exercises that make you look and listen closely. • The whole alphabet: all 32 letters, alef with its hat (آ), and the vowel marks • Every letter in every shape: on its own, and at the start, middle and end of a word • Exercises that train the look-alike letters (ب پ ت ث) and the letters that sound the same • First phrases and grammar: hello, how are you, thank you, and "I am, you are", with the everyday spoken form beside the standard one • Reviews that bring back what you've learned just before you'd forget it, in about four minutes • An optional reminder, at most once a day, only when something is due for review • Hear every letter and word in a female or male voice, slowed down for beginners (synthetic voices by Microsoft Azure; some words recorded by a native speaker) • Persian in a clear modern font, or the textbook style if you prefer • Take the lessons in any order: the app suggests what comes next, and a lesson continues where you left it • Content based on official and academic sources: the Unicode Standard, the official Persian orthography, published grammars and dictionaries • Every lesson checked by a native Persian speaker • The standard, written Persian of Iran The first two lessons are included.
