Does anyone know of any material for learning Persian/Farsi created by FSI?

The official site for FSI programs is ntis.gov

You will find that the FSI does not offer Persian. I think you are out of luck for Persian english based programs.

I find the languages offered by FSI sort of strange. Why offer uncommon languages such as Amharic, Twi, Youruba, Igbo, and ignore Persian?

Very bizarre.

I completely agree that the selection on that website is quite unusual. Though I have managed to find some FSI material for Persian.

Spoken Persian, published by Spoken Language Services Inc.

I was wondering if anyone knew of anything else.

There's Teach Youself Persian which is in English. Otherwise, if you don't mind French, there's Le Persan Sans Peine.

I can't think of anything else.

Try this link

The University of Michigan sells 18CDs for $170 that accompany their Elementary and Intermediate textbooks of Farsi.

The textbooks are available from "International Book Store" or something like that.

If I remember correctly, there is a program called Modern Spoken Persian, and it is supposed to be in a format similar to FSI.

I had come across that program, I wonder if anyone has any experience with it?
