In lesson 2 we studied long vowels with the help of three letters 
, 
, and 
.
, 
, and 
.
So far, we have learned some letters that helped us a lot with learning vowels. To do this, I introduced some end letters like 
and 
at the very beginning and it was inevitable. To explain the long vowels, we needed these letters. Now that we are familiar with the short and long vowels, which are the most important part of our job at this stage, it will not be difficult to learn and pronounce all letters (alphabets) from the very beginning with the help of those vowels. In learning Persian alphabets, sometimes, it is possible to find the English equivalents for them. Nevertheless, not all Persian letters necessarily have an English equivalent. Therefore, during these lessons, for further explanation we try to find the English and sometimes, other languages equivalents to make it easier to understand.

As you know, Persian language is built on 32 letters. Let’s try them one by one.
Note: each letter has a name, which may not necessarily be the same as its pronunciation. In one word,each letter has a name and can potentially have six pronunciations when combined with the vowels.
1- 
– 
this is called Alef /ælef/. You know the explanation of this letter. this one comes at the beginning of the words and pronounced as /a:/ only. Do you remember it? Perfect! this one appears anywhere in the words: beginning, middle, and end and accepts all six vowels. Please pronounce it again with both short and long vowels. You will say:

Now that we have reviewed the letters from the beginning, it is easy for us to learn the rest of the letters. Today, we will learn some more letters.
5-

this is called /se/ as in set. When combined, it may be pronounced as:
