What it actually is

Built by the University of Texas at Austin as a free supplement for Persian courses, this is the reference you want open in a tab: the writing system explained piece by piece (connecting letters, hamze, madd, tanvin, tashdid), a transcription system, instructions for typing Persian, and grammar entries covering nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs and sentence structure, plus vocabulary with audio and quizzes. Everything is free and needs no account. The interface dates from 2007 and it is a reference rather than a course, so use it to answer questions your main course raises.
