About the Persian alphabet
Persian (Farsi) is written in a 32-letter version of the Arabic alphabet, read from right to left. Persian took over all 28 Arabic letters and added four for sounds Arabic lacks: پ (p), چ (ch), ژ (zh) and گ (g). As in Arabic, letters join together and change shape depending on their position in a word, and there are no capital letters.
If you already read Arabic, you can read Persian letters in an afternoon — but the sounds are simpler: Persian has no emphatic or deep throat consonants, so several letters share a sound (s is written ث س ص, z is written ذ ز ض ظ, t is ت ط, h is ح ه). The challenge is spelling, not pronunciation: you have to learn which letter each word uses. Short vowels (a, e, o) are normally not written, so focus on high-frequency words and the seven letters that don't join to the next one.
