This is great! Could you please give some advice on how someone would go about learning Persian on their own. Most of the textbooks I have seen are clearly meant to be used in a class room. My interests would be mostly reading classical poetry and literature, like Saadi, Hafez, the Gulistan, etc. Thanks !

Hi, thanks for sharing info about Persian. As someone who knows both Arabic and Persian, what would you recommend to start with Arabic or Persian? For 19th century texts from Central Asia, as plus language(s) to main Old Tatar/Kazakh/Turki. So far, I had a very basic Arabic for a semester sometime ago, and zero Persian. Merci.
