Hello,
Persian (Farsi) belongs to the Indo-European family of languages which includes languages such as English and German. Therefore, it is similar to other Indo-European languages. Also, Persian is not gender specific. For example the same personal pronoun is used for he and she, which is او /u/. Nouns and pronouns in Persian do not require cases. Adverbs and adjectives use the same forms most of the time. Persian has six vowels which are either short or long and there are no compound vowels. There are no consonant clusters at the beginning of words, and etc. There are many reasons that might make Persian easier to learn than many other languages. However, there two things that might make Persian hard to learn for some people: 1) Verbs are conjugated to show person, and 2) Persian uses the Arabic alphabet with minor modifications.
Thank you,
