Welcome to Persian Words

A site for people interested in learning the Persian language. The approach used here is that of the one for one word subsitution with a basic word list - and the recommendation is that you take the time to learn the substiutions. Once you have mastered equivalent words in Persian you have the basics of the language mastered. At some levels, all language learning works at this level. However, most other methods include more grammar and deconstruction of the language. This approach avoids this complexity initially - in favor of the simplicity of word lists. The lists of words are from the following categories:
Operations
Things
Pictured (pictured)
Qualities
Opposites
These are the categories and words of C.K. Ogden's 'Basic English'.
