Best Persian forum for non-Persian speakers
You can learn Farsi for free based on asynchronous learning almost like nowhere else.

You can review LELB Society’s team of authors and teachers to get to know all of our Farsi tutors, content developers and authors.
At the bottom of each Persian lesson with embedded videos, there is a comment form for all visitors to practice writing in Farsi asynchronously. Our Persian students and native Farsi teachers would give you professional and immediate feedback by replying to your comments. For instance, at the end of this Persian post, you can see a comment box, which you can use to improve your writing skills in Farsi.
