 you can see, zoe is written in very much the same as toy, with the addition of a dot right above the daisy. They've also goes into the collection of letters that sound like the English letter Z. So in total, four of the Farsi letters sound like Z, which are Zhan, x0, x1, and x2. And its joined shape, you would write in a similar manner as toys. In a live is read as tsar. Tsar. Here we have z, z, and this is x2. X2. The third letter of this video is I. I. I'm starting from the top and making a small circular curve, followed by large curve below it comes in a joint shape as well. And like I live IN, also sounds different depending on where it's located in our I actually spent a lot of time thinking about how to explain the pronounciation of i in the best possible way. So here's me giving it a crack. When located at the end of a word. You can practically consider AI as being silent. On the other hand, at the start of award IN can sound like a 00. By the way. Joint shape. You would write ions small curve and then have a flat line joining with the next letter. There's a special case when i is placed before one of the three follows. In this case, it can be considered silent. So if you have a live yo or wow off the iron, then doesn't contribute any sound or word. Lastly, while used in the middle of a word, I'm can either be silent or sound like. So. With the letters like, I live in AI, that can be pronounced one way or another in the same place. It really depends on the word that if it is a part of. In the next section of this course, when we start building our Farsi vocabulary, we will go through this in more detail. So in a nutshell, the sounds that I can make R a, o, or it's simply silent. Okay, let's put ion together with Aleph. Since I1 is before a vowel here, then ten is silent. So this literally sounds like similarly putting together with your silent because of your. So this sounds like E. E. Lastly, putting together with the third row. The fourth and final letter of this video is lines cousin hind. Hind. Hind is written exactly the same as I am with the addition of a dot above it. The good news about that is that it always sounds the same. With the help of your throat. You pronounce it like Okay. Okay. In its joint shape, time is written the same way as ion and you keep the dot above it. Putting it together with LF, we get behind Wakefield gives. And this is, oh, let's practice toy. 16. Practice - Tōi, Zōi, Ayn, Ghayn: So, so see two. 17. Fae, Qôf, Kôf, Gôv (ف، ق، ک، گ): We are very close to the finish line with the Farsi alphabet. After this video, there's only four more letters to cover. And then we'll jump onto the even more fun parts of this course. The first out of the four letters in this video is fig. Fig. Fei, looks almost like the smiley letters that we had learned, like big. Except you start writing phi with a small circle on the right, followed by the smiley shape. Fei comes with a single dot above the circle. As you might have guessed, Fe is pronounced just like the English letter F. Fe, along with the rest of the letters in this video, coming to join shape as well. When joining another letter, you only write fe with the circle and a dot. And then you'd have a flat line joining the letter after it. As an example, joining FEI with olive, you would get fog. Joining fame with Yogi in caves. The second letter is off. Off. Off also starts with a small circle. And then you draw a much rounder looking curve. Off comes with two dots above the circle. Coffee is one of the letters that are pronounced using your throat like k and the line of sounds almost like k. However, you would produce the sound from your throat like kay? K in its joined shape is pretty much a FEI, with two dots joining him off with a leaf, we get caught. Caught. This is T. And this is the third letter of this video, is cough. Cough. Typically you start writing cough from this corner, going down and making the smiley looking curve. And then you come back to the top and write the diagonal line meeting at the corner. The line that goes down from the corner doesn't actually have to be diagonal. In fact, the handwritten cough has this line going down vertically. It is only in the typed forum on the computer screens that the font shows it as diagonal. Coffee is pronounced exactly like the English letter K. In its joined form. You're right, cough without the ending smiley show. For example, here we have cough joining Olive. This sounds like cop, cop, cop with the key. Key. And this is cool. The fourth and final letter of this video is gov. Gov. As you can see, golf is written just like cough, with the addition of a second diagonal line above the first one. The handwritten form of gov also has a vertical line going down from the corner. And the second diagonal line on top can also be drawn shorter than the first one. Gov sounds like the English letter g, like in Godden. Guitar. If the joint form of golf is written in the same manner as cough. Joining golf with elif gives go and go. And this one is, alright. Let's practice Fe, Paul, cough, gov wave thought in that guess. 18. Practice - Fae, Qôf, Kôf, Gôv: Often this is golf. So he takes place. Okay. So please. 19. Lôm, Meme, Noon (ل، م، ن): The three letters we're going to learn in this video are very simple. Let's start with love. Lung. You can visualize long, kind of like a fishing hook. Easy to remember. Long sounds just like the English letter L. Long, along with the rest of the letters in this video come into full shape and a joint shape as well. You write lumps joined shape without the curvy part at the end. When we join along with the left, there is a special case in the way that they are joined. The left is just written Next alone like this, without smoothly joining, like the way it does with the other letters. And I left sounds like lot. Luck. As you can see here. Join smoothly together. And it sounds like, by the way, do you like looking at names on the internet? Because the next letter is actually called, means. You start writing by drawing a small circle, followed by a straight line going down. Mean is pronounced like the English letter M. In its joint shape. You write only when its circle and then a flat line joining the letter afterwards. Joining me, him with LF, we get mod model. I mean, with your Gives me me. And this is the final letter of this video, is knowing. Knowing is basically one large tooth, but a dot above it. Sounds just like the English letter n. And its joined tribe. No is basically a single small to joining with the next letter. For example, noon with LF, we get not knowing with your name. And this one is no. No. Okay. Let's practice long names and known width forgotten their guess. 20. Practice - Lôm, Meme, Noon: Great. Now. No. Okay. 21. Hae-Gaerdak (ه): We have made it to the final letter, to the last but not least, this is a good Kodak. Hey, get back the name of this letter. Who literally means round? Hey, this is because the letter looks almost like a round circle. A Hagar. That sounds the same way as the letter K, which we have learned before. They both sound like the English letter H is visually special because it has a unique shape when it's written by itself. At the start of a word, in the middle of four. And at the end of our unwritten by itself, induce a round looking shape with a sharp corner at the top. While at the end of a word. You can start by making a small curve upwards and then draw a circular shape in front of it. When written at the beginning of a word. You can start off by drawing an oval looking shape. Draw a line that splits the opal enough and then joins with the letter that comes after. Lastly, when written in the middle of a word, you can start off by making a small curve downwards. And then draw a line slightly upwards, make a circle. And then pointed to the left to join with the next letter. So you go down, up, circle, left. Okay. Let's put together Hagar deck with a left. This sounds like, ha, ha, good luck with your caves. And lastly, this one is cool. Now let's practice Hagar that go with for odd in that I guess. 22. Practice - Hae-Gaerdak: But but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but but but, but, but but but but but, but but the hooks attached to them. But but, but, but but but but, but but. 23. Alphabet Recap: Well done. Now you
