#linguistics I'm looking to learn my partner's language so I can communicate with her family better. They speak Farsi.

I was wondering if anyone had some more universal language learning tips to make the process more approachable?

Otherwise, has anyone learned Farsi and if so what did you do that you would do if you learned it again, and what wouldn't you do?

my number 1 tip for learning languages is immersion, since it's really easy to know a language without being able to speak it, and immersion helps mitigate that + you learn quite faster. I can't recommend any resources for Farsi, though.. especially since the language is a bit different when written and spoken.
I mean, you can just try talking to your partner in Persian instead of English for everyday conversation (ofc to the point that you can manage). It will be difficult, but if you persist, you'll make good progress.
Good luck!

Immersion helps a lot!

I don't know much about Farsi but most languages are easier to learn with immersion and small study
