Reddit reviews Basic Persian: A Grammar and Workbook (Grammar Workbooks)

سلام! I've just started learning Farsi (literally the last week).

I'm using this workbook daily and doing the exercises (it has a CD), using this grammar book as a reference (flicking through it, it seems to be one of the better resources I've found), and doing the Pimsleur Farsi lessons (though only on lesson 3). Pimsleur is good for getting the accent and hearing pronunciations, but it's not a comprehensive catch-all resource.

I also grabbed a Lonely Planet phrasebook that shows how sentences fit together and includes a small dictionary at the back.

This online dictionary is very helpful too!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start learning Persian. It'll teach you the alphabet, a fair amount of vocab and all of the grammar that you'll need. Excellent section on prepositions too.

In terms of actual books for reading Persian, however, I'm not sure. Harry potter is great if you can find it (search for هری پاتر ) but that's for when you're more at an intermediate stage. Until then I guess just try to find children's books. Good luck.

Ok, so

There was another one, but I can’t seem to find it right now

Not sure where to categorize this, but Chai and Conversation has audio lessons.

In addition, Forvo has pronunciations of words.
