Reddit mentions of Farsi (Persian) for Beginners: Mastering Conversational Farsi (Free MP3 Audio Disc included)

سلام! I've just started learning Farsi (literally the last week).

I'm using this workbook daily and doing the exercises (it has a CD), using this grammar book as a reference (flicking through it, it seems to be one of the better resources I've found), and doing the Pimsleur Farsi lessons (though only on lesson 3). Pimsleur is good for getting the accent and hearing pronunciations, but it's not a comprehensive catch-all resource.

I also grabbed a Lonely Planet phrasebook that shows how sentences fit together and includes a small dictionary at the back.

This online dictionary is very helpful too!

Not a Farsi learner, so I can't speak to the quality of this, but a quick amazon search shows this book with audio which was published in 2015 which is pretty cheap and seems to have decent reviews.
