A couple of years ago I posted a link to the online videos and transcripts in several foreign languages at LangMedia.
Since I first stumbled on the site, the colleges involved have added more videos (and their transcripts) including short discussions on cultural facets in Farsi (all of video clips under Culture Talk Iran that I sampled are in Farsi and accompanied by transcripts with English translations). You may also find the videos about Afghan culture in Dari to be useful given how similar it is to Farsi. Enjoy. 7 persons have voted this message useful | |

How did you all fare with your goals for January?
I didn't quite complete mine. I did lessons 1-19 of Assimil (missing 20&21) and only got up to lesson 15 of Chai & Conversation (instead of 20 as was my goal). But I'm pretty satisfied with that. I can sometimes understand snippets of what people say now, which is great. And is anyone going to set goals for February? I'd like to have a goal of some sort, but I'm still unsure what it should be. I have to focus on university study instead of languages, so it won't be anything big, but I'll think of something doable.

My goals went really well! I was able to accomplish all of them, except for reviewing all of the first eight lessons of Spoken World Farsi (I reviewed four). However, I made up for that by doing way more Assimil and Chai and Conversation than I had set out to. :) In my log, I also added the goal of watching two Iranian films. I think I only watched one, The Color of Paradise (رنگ خدا).
For February, I suppose I'd continue with the modest goals since I'm now back in classes and have other studying to do... - Spoken World Farsi lessons 5-10 - Finish the rest of Chai and Conversation (only a few episodes left) - Assimil lessons 29-42 - Colloquial Persian lessons 1-3 - At least one Iranian film And since it's also the 6WC this month, I suppose I'll include a time-based goal: - 15 hours of Persian study It doesn't sound like much for a month, but that comes to about half an hour of Persian per day, which seems manageable. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Hi!
So... this is what I reached: - Pimsleur: Episode 10... but my proficiency is not enough so I think I will review the episodes from 6 to 10. - Chai and conversation: Episode 9. - EasyPersian: Lecture 4. Than I decided to put the alphabet in Anki and now I have a good command of most of the letters. Just some of then still confuse me.

This night came with advices.
I thought about the fact that everyone is different and there isn't a method that works with everyone. So, I thought about what since now demonstrated to work at best with me. First of all, fluency in speaking is the very last achievement so I decided to not bother about it at this first step. I'm a software engineer (logic and rational mind) with a terrible memory. So, point number 1: - logic: It is not a problem to me learn grammars, is what I do every time with code basically. Grammar is logic, and logic is fun for me! - terrible memory: it means that I have to use at best all kind of instrument that can help me with memorisation of words and most of all, exceptions! Point 1, studying the grammar to me is not boring. It makes the language structure grow inside me. I can study grammar and exercise myself in writing (Scryptorium method can work!). Point 2, I can listen, listen and again listen during the day so I the sound of the language can enter slowly inside me and I can learn to recognise word that I already know first, than the entire meaning of the sentence after. I need also to exercise reading. What to do for the next week: find a Persian grammar (open to any advice!), find native resources for kids to learn basic vocabulary and put the vocabulary I encounter in Anki. Find a software to write in Persian. Goal for february: being able to write a small presentation in Persian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

(oh, and do the same with Dutch, alternating the two languages and reviewing everyday with anki)
