New book helps language barrier in Afghan families
A local author in Leicester has written a book for local Afghan families divided by the language barrier.
Ferishta Bakhtari-Boodoo says learning simple phrases in both English and Persian-Dari will break down the language barrrier between the younger and older generations. British-born children can struggle to communicate with their own grandparents because their families moved here from Afghanistan.
She has published a book - Our Fruits - which uses pictures and simple phrases to help them talk about produce from Afghanistan.
Ferisha spoke to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Leicester reporter Jeremy Ball.
