How it works

Your Path to Persian

Four steps, one beautiful destination.

Meet the Script

Start with the Persian alphabet — 32 letters that open the door to 2,500 years of written culture. We make it visual and memorable.

Hear the Sound

Short audio and video lessons train your ear to Persian rhythm. The language sings — we teach you how to sing along.

Learn Through Stories

Every grammar point is taught through a real Persian story. Vocabulary sticks when it’s wrapped in narrative.

Practice & Speak

Short exercises, writing challenges, and speaking prompts build your confidence until you can tell your own stories.

Questions About the Course

Absolutely not. The course starts from zero — we begin with the alphabet and sounds, assuming no previous experience. If you can already read Persian script, you can start from Module 2.
Persian has a reputation for being poetic, not difficult. The grammar is actually simpler than many European languages — no gendered nouns, no verb conjugations based on gender. The main challenge is the script, which we tackle head-on in Module 1.
Duolingo is great for vocabulary drills. My course is built around cultural immersion — every lesson is anchored in a real story, poem, or cultural context. You won’t just learn words; you’ll learn what those words mean to a Persian person.
Most lessons are 10–20 minutes long, designed to fit into a busy life. You can go through one lesson a day and complete the full course in about 3 months.
Yes — the course is fully mobile-responsive. You can watch videos, complete exercises, and read story texts on any device.
The course is primarily in English, with key terms also explained in Italian. All Persian text includes full transliteration (pronunciation guide) and translation.
