Also, we are learning the first half of the Farsi alphabet disregarding the multiple forms and focusing mainly on the initial letter of a word. For example, the letter "shin" appears different in its initial form, medial form, and as the ending letter. We are learning the initial form for right now. Later we will learn the second half of the alphabet and how to connect the letters. I feel that right now it is mostly important to learn vocabulary and slowly learn the Farsi alphabet as it will help me to learn and practice on my own in the future.
