The Raging Controversy

For some time now, the Persian Language Police in America have insisted that people refer to the Persian language as “Farsi” - even while they are speaking English. These same Language Police do not, however, insist on the reverse: that people refer to the English language as English even if they are speaking Persian. Instead, they let those Persian speakers call the English language “Ingilisi” to their heart’s content.

What is Ajaban?

AJABAN means Amazing. Yes, that's Arabic. Most Persians would say ajabA or shegeftA. Purists, don't be angry. Some of our favorite English words are actually French, Latin, Japanese, etc.

What people are saying about Persian-English magnets

I did get the magnets and I’m still in the process of separating them. They are fantastic. Like tiny flashcards (at my level, anyway). I recognize more vocabulary than I thought and you’re right, I forgot about xosh Amadid and xAhesh mikonam. I figured out that the ‘x’ is the ‘kh’.... My standard line has been, “I’ve got about 35 words of Farsi, none of which quite make a sentence.” I feel this is about to change!

My mom suggested I use a cookie sheet for portable practice with the magnets. That way I can take them with me on my vacation next week. So again, xeily mamnoon for developing such a fun learning tool.

Your magnets make me think. I just stare at the words as they are all bunched together and they make the language fun and surreal. Something I never thought I could ever do is to use Persian to create surreal sentences.

I heard about the magnets through a friend who ordered them. She has them at her house and I could not stop playing with them, they are the coolest! I learned some new words, got to practice reading farsi and had fun doing it! She heard about them through a friend as well.
