About Rozan
Rozan (Aperture) is an opening on the wall, usually on top, which admits light and provides ventilation. It also provides contrast, visual variety, light and shadow, and virtual composition.
The purpose is to help you to read, listen, repeat and practice orally in front of your computer as you learn about Persian. There are short videos in the Culture & Video section, Vocabulary Lists with audio for study, and multiple choice Quizzes for review. For writing assistance, see The Writing System and How to Type in Persian.
In the end, it must be understood that no matter how much a person studies a foreign language, an integral part of the learning process is putting all the accumulated knowledge to use; i.e., speaking and writing the language—the more, the better. The primary goal of this tool is to help you increase your overall time spent reading, listening, speaking and writing Persian, whatever your current level of proficiency may be.
Get to Know Persian
زبان فارسی چیست؟
The history of the Persian language is divided into three eras: Old Persian (ca. 525 BC- 300 BC), Middle Persian (c. 300 BC- 800 AD), and Modern Persian (800 AD to the present day). The Persian language has been written with a number of different scripts during its history including the Old Persian Cuneiform (e.g. Bistoon inscription of the Achaemenid Darius I) and Middle Persian (Pahlavi) alphabets (e.g. Husrō ī kavādān ud rēdak-ē (خسرو قبادان و ریدک) written from the period of the Sassanian king Khosrow). After the coming of Islam in 642 AD, Persians adapted the Arabic alphabet to develop the contemporary Persian alphabet. The Arabic alphabet has 28 characters, but Iranians added another four letters in it to arrive at the current 32 Persian letters. Modern Persian appeared during the 9th century after this adoption of the alphabet and the borrowing of many Arabic words.
