    About this ebook

    A while ago, we were employed to work in the Iranian desert for three months. We lived in hotels, progressing to self-catering, and so mixed our environments between work, domesticity, and social activities. During the day we experienced temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius! But, conversely, we enjoyed the legendary Iranian hospitality of swimming, tennis, parties, and dining out, in our leisure time.

    In this book, we show you the real words, phrases, specific vocabulary, and grammar that we needed on a day-to-day basis while we lived there.

    This book has not been prepared with any academic rigour, as neither of us are qualified in linguistics, but both of us genuinely believe that its shortcomings will be overcome by the fact that it will be VERY USEFUL to you.

    This book contains what you will really need! No more, and no less. We show you what you need to know, and teach you how, why, and when to say it. Put it like this: by the time we left Iran, we could speak Farsi quite adequately!

    Author

    Peter Roberts

    Patrick Ronald Roberts was born on July 4th 1931 in London. The second of four children. The family moved to Liverpool in 1943 to escape the constant bombing of the city by the Germans, and the terrible poverty in which they were living. Patrick and his elder brother Evan, 95, are the only remaining siblings. He lost his sister Betty to suicide aged 28, and his brother George died aged just 21 in an army accident in Egypt. He is buried in a military cemetery in Cyprus. Patrick, almost 91, enjoys bowling, playing chess, and writing short stories, and has only recently stopped playing golf.

      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta
