How do you pronounce "آشپزخانه" in Farsi?
Say "ahsh-paz-khah-NEH" — it's literally a compound word meaning "cook-house," so breaking it into āshpaz ("cook") + khāne ("house") makes it much easier to say.
āshpazkhāne
Stress falls on the final syllable -ne, but because this is a compound, it also helps to keep a bit of extra weight on paz, the core of "cook."

"مادرم در آشپزخانه است" (Mādaram dar āshpazkhāne ast) attaches the possessive suffix -am directly to مادر ("mother") to mean "my mother," then places the location در آشپزخانه ("in the kitchen") before the final verb است — no separate word for "my" or "is" up front, both folded into endings or moved to the end.
Where English speakers slip
This is a long word, and English speakers often rush or garble the middle, blending پز into the surrounding syllables. Since it's really two familiar pieces stuck together — āshpaz (cook) and khāne (house) — practice saying each half on its own first, then join them.
