Short Stories in Farsi for Upper-Intermediate Level [electronic resource]
Borhan, Ali2021
eBook
This book is the second volume of the series of Short Stories in Farsi. Complementary to the first volume which was specifically written for intermediate level, the second volume is intended for learners of upper-intermediate level and beyond. Both volumes are primarily designed to provide learners with high quality reading materials. All the stories are carefully written to firstly, enhance learners' reading comprehension of Farsi and secondly, to advance their understanding of the difference between formal and informal Farsi. To this end, fluency notes with numerous authentic examples are given in parts titled "فارسیِ گُفتاری." Students are expected to achieve an in-depth and practical understanding of the "spoken" Farsi besides mastering new vocabulary and expanding their idiomatic lexicon. This book includes sixteen short stories. Each unit begins with a story followed by vocabulary list, comprehension questions, and fluency notes. To avoid spoon-feeding the learner, English equivalents are not given. Instead, several synonyms are offered for each entry and the reader is tasked to choose the one which makes most sense in the context. A glossary of all the important words and phrases is also presented at the end of the book.
