I added some resources for Persian in my log. This is just an "off the top of my head" list. I will add more when I
have some more time.

I've just had a look through the resource list for Persian I have amassed over time. I'd like to recommend the following in addition to what Élan and Jappy recommended (some of them may also be intereting for Arabic and Hebrew):
Children's Book Library The Children's Book Library has digitalised 476 books in Persian, 30 books in Arabic and 19 books in Hebrew and access is free. I will definitely make use of them to practice reading. Some of the books are also available in other languages, so it's possible to use them as parallel texts. OllyBolly Children Book Videos This is a Korean site (in English) which has videos of narrated stories for children in several languages. All the videos are available with subtitles, as well as in English and Korean translation. They have 4 videos in Persian, 2 in Lebanese Arabic and 6 in Palestinian Arabic. "A Day in Rostamābād of Shemirān" by Mohammad-Ali Jamālzāde This website has a Persian story with annotations for every word, English translation, audio, etc. Could be very useful for reading practice. DLI Dari Course This Dari course from the Defense Language Institute looks very good. It's very new (not like most of their resources which can be found on the net) and includes student textbook, student workbook, audio and the teacher book. DLI: G.L.O.S.S. online lessons I'm a great fan of these free lessons, which teach new vocabulary, grammatical structure and cultural competency. They have encouraged me to take the leap and study with native materials in Korean. They are available for every level and use a wide variety of native materials with audio, vocabulary lists, grammatical explanations and exercises with an answer key. There are 315 lessons for Persian, 482 lessons for Arabic, 142 lessons for Hebrew and 8 lessons for Somali. DLI News Training Interesting for Intermediate and Advanced students, similar to G.L.O.S.S. (possible overlaps). Persian Verb Conjugator Might be useful, very thorough. Also has a site with grammatical explanations. Virtual Persian These are basically just conversations with script and audio (no translation or vocabulary). Farsi.Tardid.Net Dialogues, Farsi.Tardid.Net Lessons Several Dialogues with Video and Worksheets/Handouts for download. I haven't tried this yet. Book 2 Audio vocabulary and sentences in Persian, Arabic, Hebrew and lots of other languages. Radio CP Weekly Podcasts in Farsi.

Thank you for those resources! The children's library was one of my fave resources that I had forgotten about. I
appreciate the link! Also, I want to apologize because I am unable to link to any of your logs/this log in my own log. The hyperlink feature does not work when there is a "=" in the link. I can make links just fine in this log, but they end up totally broken in my own log. Another frustration of this glitchy forum. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Another strange glitch has showed up... At the moment I just can't open a new log, but it's okay, I'll just use the old one and make it into a huge language journey log.
By the way, Élan, DLI may have resources for Somali, I suppose it's worth having a look. At least there are 8 G.L.O.S.S. lessons for the beginner level. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Eep! Sorry you can't get a new log going. That happend to me last TAC... when I tried to post a new log, it would
attach to the bottom of someone else's Japanese log. I got my link issue to work with some fiddling, although it's not how I would like it to look. Oh well. Thanks for the DLI info. I did not like working with those old courses, but GLOSS looks nice. You might want to add that there are 135 lessons for Iraqi there too! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for sharing all those links, our first page is turning into quite the go-to place
for resources. I'll make sure to update it over the weekend. Druckfehler, you should post in the technical forum. Someone there should be able to help you with this problem. 1 person has voted this message useful |
