http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/arusipersianwedding/ Set against the turbulent relationship between the U.S. and Iran, Iranian-American filmmaker Marjan Tehrani captures the struggle and excitement of Alex and Heather as they plan a Persian Islamic wedding in Iran. But when Alex’s Iranian-born parents and Heather’s conservative American father meet for the first time, cultures clash and test the couple to their limits.

I seriously think you could have made MUCH more progress with Rosetta Stone. They have it in Persian!!!

We used that same book in my Persian class. It's not a good book at all. The phonetic spellings are geared towards Brittish who have different accents. The best books to learn Farsi for US folks were published back in the 1950s to 1970s.
