I would like to learn Farsi, yet my university offers no such courses. I have some friends from Iran who can help me with pronunciation and conversation, but would also like some type of programme so that my grammar and vocabulary will be able to grow easily. My question is, are there any **good** internet recources for learning Farsi? I am currently using [www.easypersian.com](http://www.easypersian.com), but are there any better sites that are free as well?

I don’t know about sites, but there’s a book in the **Teach Yourself** series that covers Farsi. I’m sure there are other books on Farsi out there as well. Check Amazon.
