Woodhaven Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Does anyone know of a text and DVD set for Farsi? Something that teaches writing, like alif baa does with Arabic? It's a long shot, but I thought someone might know. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daijobu Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 There are so few resources for Farsi, that I'll just post what I know, even though it isn't DVD. My highest praise is for Pimsleur. I've used them for Spanish and Farsi, and the audio CDs are excellent. Too bad that it doesn't get much beyond beginning Farsi. I also enjoy Farsi with Chai and Conversation. Frankly, it isn't all that great, but as I said, there is so little out there, I'm grateful to anyone who is facilitating learning Farsi. About 20 years ago I studied from this Teach Yourself Modern Persian book. It's dull, but it does the job. I see on Amazon that there appears to be a new edition of the book by a different author. I'm listening in to see if anyone else has suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Our library has Pimsleur Farsi. I'm glad to know it's a good program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Assimile, text and CD. Highly highly recommend it. I got functional working Farsi/Dari in 3 months. I could only find a version for French speakers on amazon https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_sc_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aassimil+farsi&keywords=assimil+farsi&ie=UTF8&qid=1457385720 So I should be looking for the English version?
