10 WORDS FROM FARSI IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

This month‘s blog post stems from a recent 
 visit to Iran, where Farsi, the official 

 language, is spoken by over 70 million people. Besides, Farsi is also  an official language in Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

     Farsi or Persian?

  When the Arabs invaded Persia, in around 600 AD, ‘Farsi’ was the   Arabic name for Persia, and they also called ‘Farsi’ the language.

  The Arabs and the Arabic Language exerted such a long-lasting      influence that the language is still called Farsi in Iran today, though  it may be referred to as Persian elsewhere.

 In the same way as the English Language has borrowed words 

 from Germanic Languages and Romance Languages, it has also  borrowed words from other languages.

 Such is the case with Farsi: the English language has gone outside  its own linguistic resources and has borrowed words from Farsi,  the language of a great culture and remarkable literature.

 So far, I have uploaded presentations focused on borrowings from  Spanish and from Northern European Languages.

 On this occasion I would like to present some of the words the  English Language has assimilated from Farsi.

  I hope you find this post interesting and useful.

  I always appreciate your feedback

10 WORDS FROM NORTHERN EUROPEAN LANGUAGES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Today, further on the ‘borrowings’ or words that, coming from other languages, have shaped the English Language, I am uploading a presentation of 10 words from Northern European Languages in the English Language.

As it usually happens with this kind of linguistic phenomenon, you seldom realize these words are borrowing:

to such an extent these words have become part of the English Language.

If your students are beginners or post-beginners (CEFR A1-A2), they may need some help from you, some brainstorming time before they try to do the tasks: it all depends on their knowledge or experience.

The tasks included in this presentation are suitable for CEFR B1-B2 learners of English, or intermediate and post-intermediate 

TASKS & SUGGESTED PROCEDURE

I. Go through the 10 slides. Circle the word each image depicts.

Read the definitions, then match images & definitions.

II. Identify the countries. Write the names of the countries and match them with the flags. Then, write the nationalities & languages spoken in each country.

III. Finally, decide which words come from which country.

I will upload a key in a few days.

If you come up with some other words, let me know in the comment section.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

I do hope you find this post useful.
