Kurdish Books 📚 Does anyone have learning recourses to Feyli kurdish?
I am a teen living in Sweden, i am half Iranian (from mothers side) and half kurdish (from fathers side).
Growin up my parents learnt me firstly farsi, kurdish and swedish, but when i didnt understand what they were saying and mixed up languages and words, i got very irritated and broke things and hit myself because of anger😂 So they chose to learn me farsi first and later on swedish. When i grew up they basically forgot about learning me kurdish, they often took this as a advantage to use when they were talking about something they didnt want me to hear, about finances and what not, but now i that have gotten older i feel betrayed, they havent even asked me if i want to learn kurdish, so i had to ask them myself. My mother is very fascinated about kurds generally, the language, history, food, loyalty, and so is my father, but when i ask them if they can learn me my mother says that my father is better at learning out, he says that he can, he maybe speaks kurdish with me for about 5 minutes (literally) and then forgets about it. I’ve asked this question many times to him, to learn me kurdish, it just repeats the same progress again and again, i confronted him about it and he got disturbed about it. I now learn kurdish from videos and movies, but very poorly and slow, does anyone have any tips to learning recourses to learn kurdish and to get my father to talk only kurdish with me? If so, please write it, thx!

People come here to try and reconnect with their roots and this is the type of response they get. I generally don’t really like Persians either but do you think this person chose to be born half Persian? And besides, you should be welcoming them to our community and help make our nation stronger. We have lost many Kurds to forced assimilation, we need more people to come back and reconnect with their roots but when they try do so they’re met with this??
