What it actually is
Hafez, Rumi, Ferdowsi, Saadi, Khayyam and hundreds of lesser-known poets, digitised in full and free, with recitations attached to many poems and links between related verses. Persian literary culture runs through poetry to a degree that surprises learners, and this is where Iranians themselves look a line up. It is classical language, so it will not teach you to order lunch, and there are no translations or learner notes — bring an advanced reading level or a teacher.
