Can anyone speak with regard to how up to date the FSI course is with modern conversational Persian? Is it a good
course? I know the Spanish, French, and Portuguese courses are all very strong, is this at about the same level? Also, how does it compare to the UTexas textbook posted above, and how does that textbook rate? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I checked it out of curiosity, and it's extremely colloquial. In addition, the pronunciation they teach sounds like the one of Tehran. So from a conversational point of view, if you can manage FSI courses, it's an excellent book. That's the kind of persian my parents taught me when I was a child, and that means that although you'll manage to do sufficiently well in common conversations, you won't be able - as myself - to understand movies, radios, newspapers and official dialogues and announcements (political ones, for instance). That's because spoken Farsi is quite different from the formal one, as you may already know. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Ah, interesting. Well I'm totally fine with using FSI as a supplement to . I can rely on other sources (i.e. Assimil, the
UTexas textbook, and whatever else I can find) for the formal language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I believe this is quite new, take a look at this:
http://persianlanguageonline.com/ What do you think? The material is quite similar to the "Teach yourself modern persian", isn't it? 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Another free resource for Persian is "Persian for Beginners", by Iraj Bashiri, which includes a textbook, a tape manual, and audio. The set can be found for download on his website:
http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/Lessons/PfBindex.html And for learners who prefer to use Russian rather than English as a basis for their Persian studies, here's the page for the Russian version of the books: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/LessonsRussian/RussPfor Bindex.html (The audio only seems to be on the English page listed first above, though.) 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||
