 +Persian is a beautiful language when spoken.
  
-Persian, a language of amazing movies and beautiful women. +===== Resources =====
  
-Persian must be the language I enjoy listening the most when it is spoken by women. I think Russian comes second and French third, and every other language comes much farther back so I won't even bother ranking them.+[[http://www.easypersian.com/|easypersian.com]] was one of my main resources when I was getting started with Persian. 
 + 
 +[[http://english.irib.ir/component/k2/item/54616-part-1|Persian for you]] is a radio course which offers basic phrases and vocabulary. Unfortunately, the links to many of the lessons seem to be broken. I have the mp3s in my hard disk, in case anybody is interested. 
 + 
 +There is a Persian version of [[http://www.dw.de/dw/0,,9993,00.html|Deutsche Welle]], which includes an [[http://mediacenter.dw.de/persian/audio/|audio section]]. 
 + 
 +[[http://gloss.dliflc.edu/Default.aspx|GLOSS]], the Global Language Online Support System, makes a very good job at covering written and spoken Persian at all levels. 
 + 
 +[[http://persian.nmelrc.org/|Persian in Texas]] is an excellent collection of resources. 
 + 
 +Javid Jamae produced a [[http://javidjamae.com/2007/11/10/most-common-persian-words/|frequency list of Persian]]. 
 + 
 +If you read Russian, and even if you don't, you'll be interested in [[http://franklang.ru/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76:2010-12-30-19-42-42&catid=35:2010-12-30-18-58-47&Itemid=63|Ilya Frank's Persian texts]]. If you haven't heard of Nasreddin Hodja, I recommend downloading his stories. They are fun and lighthearted, yet wise and ingenious at the same time. 
 + 
 +iranianlinguistics.org has compiled many [[http://www.iranianlinguistics.org/wiki/index.php?title=Persian|resources]] at their wiki. Hopefully, you won't have to view the history to undo the spambot attacks. 
 + 
 +[[http://www.ling.ohio-state.edu/~jonsafari/|Jon Dehdari]] has applied natural language processing to Persian. He has produced a dictionary and a frequency list, among other interesting resources. 
 + 
 +On a completely random note, you can watch a short clip of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSykRhSFUTg|Spongebob Squarepants in Persian]] at YouTube.

 Then I bought a phrasebook on October 2010, even though it was becoming obvious that I wouldn't be able to commit to Persian as needed in order to learn it to a good level. Then I bought a phrasebook on October 2010, even though it was becoming obvious that I wouldn't be able to commit to Persian as needed in order to learn it to a good level.
