How do you pronounce "من" in Farsi?
Sounds just like the English word "man" — same vowel, same consonants, one syllable.
man
One syllable, and as the subject pronoun it typically carries a clear, moderate stress in the sentence.

"Man dāneshju hastam" (من دانشجو هستم) uses man as the subject ("I"), but notice the verb hastam already encodes "I am" through its ending — so man here is optional emphasis, not strictly required the way "I" is in English, since Persian verb endings already show who's doing the action.
Where English speakers slip
Because English always needs a subject pronoun ("I am a student"), learners tend to include man in every sentence out of habit, but native speakers frequently drop it when the verb ending alone already makes the subject clear — overusing man can sound overly emphatic, like stressing "I" in English.
