For those looking to prepare linguistically for a stay in Afghanistan, there has previously been little practical material available. The new Persian language guide by Simin Heiderfazel now offers comprehensive practical assistance for communication in Afghanistan's majority language, Farsi Dari. Starting from the Persian alphabet, through numbers and greetings, to the calendar and useful terms from the healthcare and education systems, the guide systematically introduces terms and phrases that facilitate everyday situations. The volume contains approximately 2,500 words in alphabetical order. Since mastering a language without a system of rules is not possible, the book includes a simplified presentation of the basic grammatical rules. Additionally, the compact language guide provides tips for behavior in Afghanistan.
