Learning to read a language with a foreign alphabet can be an intimidating challenge. Even before you can start to study the vocabulary and grammar, you must first decipher this strange new script. But learning a new alphabet does not have to be so difficult. Other language courses start by showing a table of the alphabet and then immediately proceed to dialogues and grammatical descriptions. This is not the ideal way to teach a foreign alphabet, and this approach causes many students to get frustrated and give up before they start. Instead of that approach, Learn to Read Persian (Farsi) in 5 Days teaches each letter of the Persian alphabet in a systematic way while providing enough practice along the way to ensure the student learns the entire alphabet.
