Where Did You Farsi?mrmahdiJuly 31 2003, 23:33:02 UTC
Greetings,
I noticed that you have a strong command of the Farsi language. Being half Persian myself, I used to speak Farsi until my mom stopped talking to me in Farsi because I couldn't speak english in school.
You appear to be from Asian descent and I wonder, are you half Persian and if not, what make you interested in learning the Farsi language?
Re: Where Did You Farsi?sweet_geminiAugust 1 2003, 10:02:36 UTC
I'm half Iranian and half Filipino.
My father is from Iran (Mashhad) and my mother from the Philippines. I learned Farsi because it was the main language I was spoken to while growing up besides English, and I go to Iran often to visit my family. When I was little, I used to also go to Farsi school. I still retain it so well because of all my family and friends that I speak with that are Iranian. Even my mom has picked up on a lot of the language, haha -- it's cute.
So, I guess to answer your question -- it's my "native" language.

Greetings,
I am half Irani and half black, but many but many think I am Egyptian (LOL). At one point I tried to relearn Farsi, but later on down the line I lost interest. My main thing now (when it comes to languages) is mastering Arabic. I fell in love with Arabic for obvious reasons, one being Islam and the other is the beauty and eloquence of the Arabic language.
But Insha' Allah, I might finally learn how to speak Farsi fluently one day.

I can see how the Egyptian thing would come in with that mix, haha.
You have no idea how many different ethnicities I've been mistaken for -- it's insane. I'm sure you could pick up Farsi again... if you REALLY want to get the hang of it though, just make a trip to Iran and it all will flow back easily I'm sure.
As for Arabic -- I know it as well... learned it in Farsi school to read deeny and everything. I still can read and write it but as for speaking the langauge... I speak it very brokenly but it gets me through well enough with all my Arab friends, haha.
They're the ones who keep pushing that I learn it as well since I know so many. I don't mind though.
