For you or anyone serious about learning Arabic, we have a comrade here who generously offers 1-on-1 MSA lessons from a syllabus they developed. As I'm sure you know, Farsi is what is primarily spoken in Iran, but it uses the same script/lettering system as Arabic. Also MSA, the formal standard Arabic is used all across the Arabic-speaking world even where local dialects diverge drastically, making it the best choice if you want to talk people of different Arab cultures and nationalities.

@CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net I think the main reason the comrade I mentioned above doesn't do a whole class is only because not enough people have been interested in it yet. But I don't know, that may be a possibility if more people requested it. Whether it's in a class or 1-on-1, having a teacher who you are obligated to demonstrate your progress to goes a very long way in maintaining motivation and preventing procrastination excuses, at least in my experience. Regardless, if you didn't know already, we do have a language-learning comm.

Me too actually wouldn't it be fun if we could make a languages learning club haha (I keep being so busy but I need to just cephalopod-up and make the time for it)

warms my heart to see non arabs want to learn Arabic :heart-sickle: I'm in the same boat as you with Farsi. I've been trying to learn it for some time now

I don't have good sources sadly but I think you're fine in that regard. Good luck with your learning!
