how long will it take to speak everyday farsi? I found myself make no progress I've learned Farsi on "easypearsion.com" for two weeks, and I spent 2 hours a day to study online. But I still couldn't say much daily farsi expressions. I'd like to ask is it normal for a beginner to learn Farsi? And I also found it boring to just remember new words of actually no use in daily spoken Farsi, for example: lots of verbs like shokestan, gereftan, bastan, nevashtan and so on. I found it easy to remember nouns rather than verb. Could anyone please help me?

Persian is very lyrical and easy to learn. I recommend you to learn grammars of Persian then start studying vocabulary. When you know grammar you can make new sentences. You can even make it like a game with rules! Put the new words in the correct place! That's gonna be interesting! This is the way I learnt Persian. You can also improve your vocabulary-in-use by watching Persian subtitled Farsi movies. That can improve your listening skills as well!

About watching movies with Persian subtitle, the problem is, as my friends have mentioned, daily Farsi speaking is very different from the formal form. I also suggest reading Persian books, as of Jalal'e Al'e Ahmad (جلال آل احمد), although you may find it difficult in the beginning. Also, there are some basic rules for learning Persian verbs. Usually each verb is derives from a root, and the verbs related to the same root, usually have a similar or interconnected meaning. This Article: http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%81%D8%B9%D9%84_%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87 may help you in learning root of the verbs.

I think the best way is to learn the grammar first.. because i started learning from easypersian.com, I was in the same situation as you are, until I found some native speakers who were willing to help me. Trust me its not that hard at all.. I'm slowly learning to make new sentences now!

Dear friend, I believe that the easiest way of learning Persian is learning as a kid. I know that there is no Persian speaking person around you, but it is better to imitate sounds, then point the object you are calling. Maybe it helps.
