Sorani Kurdish: A Complete Course — From the Arabic Alphabet to A2

By Sayit Language

Sorani Kurdish, from the Arabic alphabet to A2 - for English speakers starting at zero.

Soran is a complete, self-study course in Sorani (Central Kurdish) - the Kurdish of Iraq and Iran, written in its own Arabic-based alphabet. It assumes nothing: no Kurdish, no Arabic, no linguistics. In twenty-four graded units it takes you from your first letter to the end of A2, with a full answer key.

What makes this course different: every Kurdish word in it was checked against a modern Sorani lexicon and dictionary before it was allowed onto the page, and every grammar rule against a reference grammar. Not one word was invented.

Three layers on every line: the Sorani in its own script, a clear Latin transliteration, and the English - so you can start reading the alphabet from day one and let go of the transliteration as you grow.

Inside the book:

The full Kurdo-Arabic alphabet and pronunciation, from scratch
24 units, each with a dialogue, vocabulary, clear grammar tables, a culture note, exercises and a self-test
The famous Sorani ergative past - how Kurdish marks who did an action - taught step by step
Two full review units with tests
A complete answer key and a reference grammar
A Sorani-English glossary and an English-Sorani index

Who it is for: complete beginners, and heritage learners in the diaspora who speak some Kurdish but never learned to read and write the Sorani script.

Kurdish, from zero - one page at a time.
