This dude is an extremely good linguist

Your Persian skills are very impressive. A few suggestions if you want to speak with a more standard accent: 1) short 'a' is pronounced as "æ" as in English "hat", while long 'a' is pronounced as "ɑ" as in English "hot" 2) your pronunciation of 't' and 'd' is alveolar, whereas in Persian, these sounds are dental, often with a very slight affricate quality during release 3) The Persian word for "and" is pronounced as "væ". When the vowel "w" occurs as a consonant, it is pronounced as "v".

syedyasirkamal: You need to learn tactful and respectful ways of providing constructive criticism to people.

well you can read Persian better than many Persians in Europe

This is a very interesting idea... nice video. This type of thing could help many people, including me. You really need to watch your pronunciation though. The distinction between long and short a is important, you need to make it.

Are you Iranian? I've seen you in other videos and I think you would be able to pass as an iranian.

He's certainly not using a standard Persian or Tehrani pronunciation. I dont know whether he's just mistaken in his pronunciation or whether he's using some sort of eastern pronunciation.

ich kann leider nur hoffen, dass eines Tages ich Persisch, Russisch, u. Englisch so gekonnt so wie Sie beherrschen können werde. Mach mal diese Videos weiter! Ich mag sie aber sehr

Profasar.. I am a great admirer of yours... but I have to say that ur pronunciation is WAY OFF! ... Please don't speak Persian with an American accent ... for instance the persian "dal" is not the "d" in English .. I am an Urdu speaker and don't understand Farsi .. yet I can imitate native pronunciation of Farsi..and Spanish!
