Your partner's family speaks Farsi. Now you can answer.
Maybe you married into an Iranian family and smile through every dinner. Maybe you grew up hearing Persian at home and can follow, but never reply. Salam, Joon! teaches the Persian that Iranians actually speak at home: the everyday Farsi of Tehran, from your first salâm to a whole Nowruz visit with the family.
Speak first, read later. Every word is written in a simple, consistent English-based spelling with the stressed syllable marked, so you can say it right from page one. The Persian alphabet comes once you can already talk, in its own part, ending with a real birthday card you can read.
Inside:
- 26 chapters built around family life: greetings and respect, the family table, visits, celebrations and condolences, health, calls and video calls
- Taarof explained: when no, thank you means yes, and how to offer, refuse and accept like a guest who belongs
- Family words: the four kinds of aunt and uncle, and what to call your in-laws
- The spoken forms of Tehran (khune, not the textbook khâne), fast speech and Finglish texting decoded
- In Kabul boxes on how the Dari of Afghanistan says it differently
- Dialogues, exercises with an answer key, verb tables, two glossaries and a pocket guide of phrases for your in-laws
For complete beginners and heritage speakers, levels A1 to A2. No grammar background needed.
