Listen to each item separately and repeat it. The pronunciation of the existing recordings is still being reviewed.

Step 2 / 7

How it works

دیروز means “yesterday”. رفتم means “I went” and آمدم means “I came”. The ending ـم marks “I” in these verb forms.

Transliteration is only an approximate pronunciation guide.

Step 3 / 7

Read and understand

Build a sentence from these parts: من دیروز آمدم. – I came yesterday. In آمدم and رفتم, the ending ـم marks the first person.
