Creating a learning activity to teach somebody anything in Dari is pretty difficult considering the complexity of language. Therefore, I thought it was probably best to work with something that is a little easy to learn--assuming you already know the alphabet. That said, I chose to create a learning activity using the personal pronouns.
من = I
- من sounds like maan
- Composed of two characters: م (meem) and ن (noon)
- Join both characters together, remember from right-to-left, to form من
تو = you (singular/informal)
- تو sounds like tu (almost like the number two or you in Spanish)
- Composed of two characters: ت (te) and و (wow)
- Join both characters together to form تو
شما = you (plural/formal)
- شما sounds like shehma
- Composed of three characters: ش (sheen), م (meem) and ا (alef)
- Join the characters together to form شما
او = (s)he/it
- او sounds like oh
- Composed of two characters: ا (alef) and و (wow)
- Join both characters together to form او
آنها = they
- آنها sounds like aanha
- Composed of four characters: آ (alef), ن (noon), ه (hey) and ا (alef)
- Join the characters together to form آنها
ما = we
- ما sounds like maa
- Composed of two characters: م (meem) and ا (alef)
