r/farsi

What it actually is

The largest English-language forum for Persian, and the practical place for the questions this language keeps producing: whether a phrase is bookish or spoken, how a word is pronounced in Tehran versus Kabul, where to buy Persian books abroad. Native speakers and heritage learners answer, and the mix is worth more than any single course for a language whose written and spoken forms diverge as far as this one's do. It is a general Persian community rather than a learners' one, so search before posting.
