Bahareh Teaches Farsi - Book 1 teaches you a range of emotion-related vocabulary as well as the grammar knowledge you need in order to make simple sentences with the “be'' verb in both affirmative and negative forms. The book consists of nine sections, each focusing on one emotion followed by demonstrating one aspect of the sentence structure. In other words, you will learn everything you need to know about the use of “be” verbs in Farsi, one section at a time. Just like English, the “be” verb is used in Farsi to talk about things like name, occupation, nationality, quality, emotions, time, and place.
