Our new Persian-English Magnetic
Word Play kits are the perfect gift for your favorite Iranians! And for yourself! They will help you bond with the Persian
(a.k.a. Farsi)
language. The kits are fun and educational and
spark creativity!
They are great for any level of language ability. Each kit has different words chosen around a
theme:
-
-
The Pleasantries (t'Arof) kit has words
of politeness and manners that are commonly used in the Persian art of t'Arof.
Each Kit has:
-
The
Persian words are printed
in black ink on the white
side of the magnets. On the
other side of each magnet
you will find the transliteration (the way the word sounds
in Persian, spelled
out in English letters)
and translation (definition)
of the word in English.
Great for All Language Abilities! Ages 8 to 108! These
kits are great for Fluent, Intermediate and Beginning Persian speakers.
FLUENT: Those of you who
are fluent in Persian
can jump right in and
play with this fabulous
language
the way English
speakers play with English word magnets (for example, famous singers use English word magnets
to inspire their songwriting).
It's not so much about
education at this level,
but about fun, creativity
and not taking words
for granted. You put
all these words on the
refrigerator or other
metal
surface and then compose
by putting them together
in fun, unexpected
ways. In this
way, you will find
your creativity sparking
all day long - or whenever
you pass by the
fridge. Fluent speakers,
order yours now!
INTERMEDIATE: Many
of us outside of Iran
are a bit rusty with the
Persian
language, perhaps
even intimidated by
or frustrated with the written language. Maybe
your vocabulary has
been
shrinking. Persian-English
magnets to the
rescue! The English
transliteration and translation
are
right there on the
back, like training
wheels that you won't need for long. That's because
when you play with
these
word magnets, you will
be fluent in no time.
Your
brain
will soon
be subconsciously recognizing
written Persian words without any effort (more about
this on the Heritage Language page). And best of
all, it's
fun! Order a set now!
BEGINNERS: Finally,
for those of you who don't know any Persian
at all,
this
kit is no substitute
for classes in Persian. However, you
will be amazed at how much fun you can get
out of these magnets
anyway. You have the English
side to play with, and I have actually seen
English-only
speakers
begin to decipher the Persian
alphabet just after turning over a few
of the magnets. You can see their brains
whirring
as they
map out the connections
between letters and sounds. And it's really
cool to be able to read
the mysterious Persian
script. Language daredevils, order now!
