Do you know any good places for Farsi language learning?
Hello, sorry for the late reply!
I have compiled a lot of resources for Farsi in my folder (I also have added more materials for Dari and Tajik for those who are interested in those varieties).
When it comes to other resources there is Persian Language Online, Easy Persian, Loecsen, Learn Persian, Persianpod101 and LingoHut.
I don't currently learn Persian (but I am interested in it) so I can't vouch for the quality of these resources. If anyone has anything to add please do so!

Day 1 - What is the "birthday song" of your TL? (Part 2/2 - فارسی)
30 day language blog challenge by @moltre-s
I'm not even close to being proficient enough in Persian to be able to write a coherent text about this song, like I did for the Swedish födelsedagssång. Instead, I wrote out the lyrics to the Persian birthday song in order to get some writing practice and tried translating them word by word with my dictionary. I wasn't able to find a translation for every single word, but overall, I think I managed to get pretty close to the actual meaning!
Here are the lyrics in text form:
تولد، تولد
تولدت مبارک
مبارک مبارک
تولدت مبارک
لبت شاد و دلت خوش
تو گل پرخنده باشی
بیا شمعا رو فوت کن
که صد سال زنده باشی

سلام!
I recently started learning Persian, so I added a new language page in my Notion language database, and it's been filling with words! Such an interesting and beautiful language! I've been working on the handwriting too, but I'll share that once it's a little better 🙃
Eventually, I'm planning to make my wordbank resources available as templates to help others learn languages too, so if you're ever interested, drop me a message!

Language Journal Prompt
Listing Grammar, Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, and Vocab Resources
I provided the ones I did for my language journal as an example but really take the time to do some research to see what resources work best for you and this overview is dynamic so it will change as you grow in the language.
I did this several months ago after being sick realizing how much I needed a journal for language learning and a “menu” of resource for quick glance when I am stuck on what to study. This has helped me plan tremendously both goals and daily.
What are your favorite resources to study with?

My Notion database for the Persian alphabet is finally complete, and I think it is very aesthetically pleasing.
If you're interested in the language and would like to have a look, let me know! 🤙

Y'ALL I SUCCESSFULLY HAD A SHORT CONVERSATION VIA TEXT MESSAGE WITH A NATIVE FARSI SPEAKER IN FARSI *screaming at an unholy decibel*
I think every day spent in the summer break away from school renders me just a bit more unhinged
but OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD
I think I'm about to cry or chew through a wall or do a cartwheel
Hand me a fUCKING PAPER BAG TO BREATHE INTO
(But no fr just the sight of my pfp with correct, coherent Farsi text underneath it, just communicating in Farsi like it's a casual daily thing means the world with a fucking cherry on top to me, LET'S GO I STILL GOT IT I GOT THE LANGUAGE LEARNING GENE BABY WOOOHOOOO)
