The following tips can help you improve your Persian vocabulary:

Love Words

You have to really enjoy learning new words if you’re going to succeed.

Read, Read, and Read more!

Read

A Persian – English dictionary is your best friend.

Read. 

Read all kinds of books. When you come across a word you don’t know, read the sentences around the word and try to figure out what it means from the context. Check your guess with a dictionary. At first, you shouldn’t start reading specialized textbooks with lots of new words on every page. Start with simple books including children books. If you set aside time each day to sit down with your books, you can gradually deepen your knowledge of Persian.

Find Friend

Find a friend who speaks Persian.

 You need to practice using your new words and the best thing to do is talking to a native Persian. You can find Persian friends around the world. With a web connection, your conversation partner does not need to live near you. You can email, chat, and even phone each other using your computers.

Watch

Listen to the radio, watch television, or find a podcast that you like in Persian, and practice understanding the language when spoken, too.

You can download audio books and speech radio. This is an excellent way to learn new Persian words, because you learn not only the new word, but also how to correctly pronounce it.

Practice, practice, practice.

Learning new words won’t help very much if you promptly forget them. It usually takes at least 10 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. It’s a good idea to write the new words, their definitions and one or two sentences you make up using the words.  You can later review the words to make sure you can use them in your conversations effectively.
