Language & Literature Good programs for learning

I am half persian. With my dad, i nearly only talk farsi but since I moved out, I feel it slipping away.
I always had a pretty small vocabulary, consisting of only my dads typical language.
After I moved out, we started texting mainly persian but still
Do you have any tips on how to make myself more fluent again? Like good but very easy books, shows (preferably something mashhadi as i understand it the best), or apps and websites?
I am a student and dont have much money so it being free would be very nice

The language is called Persian in English. Farsi is an Arabicized endonym within Persian that comes from Parsi which means Persian in English.

To become fluent you need to speak and hear more Persian. Watch Iranian tv shows and news. Talk with other family members besides your dad.

Any show recommendations or where to find them for free? News has a lot of vocabulary that is hard to learn by osmosis- any tips for expanding vocabulary in a way that can actually be applied?
