Atoofi Maliheh - Farsi (Persian) for beginners: mastering conversational Farsi

ACKNOWLEDGMENT I would like to express my gratitude to many people who helped me with this book. My sister Ameneh (Maliheh) Atoofi who patiently and meticulously proofread the manuscript many times, provided me with valuable advice on contents, and organized many other aspects such as photos and sound files. Of course, I am indebted to other members of my family for the creation of this book, some with their wonderful photographic skills (Donya and Majid), and others with the sound files and advice (Nahid, Haydeh, Homyra, Davood, Mehran, Baran, Bahareh, Majid, Donya, Diba, Banafsheh, Azadeh, and Marjan). I have been very fortunate to be around wonderful people who constantly encouraged me and gave me moral support in this project: my soulmate Viviana and my best of friends and family, Marjan Shokri and Alireza Keshvari.
