More about Farsi

Farsi is the word for Persian, the language, and the name you may already know from home. Ask someone Farsi baladi? (do you speak Persian?) and answer Baleh, ye kam Farsi baladam, which means yes, I speak a little Persian. It is taught in Module 7, lesson 3, in the lesson called A little. Ye kam is a little. The course uses Farsi, not Persian, in the lines you say, and this page uses both names for the same language.
