      • https://chaiandconversation.com/courses/speak-persian

        • Learn to Speak the Persian Language

        • Our Speak Persian course does exactly that—teach you to actually speak the Persian language the way Iranians do in conversation! Over the course of 90 + audio lessons, you go from being a complete beginner in the Persian language to understanding what others are saying and confidently responding as well.

          A bit more on our lessons:

          • We teach conversational Persian, not the formal, written version taught in most courses
          • Go from not knowing a word to being able to understand and speak with our bite sized lessons
          • Study at your own pace — each audio lesson is about 15-20 minutes each, and includes study material to help you absorb the information
          • You don’t need to be able to read and write Persian to understand the lessons- we include English phonetic spellings of all the words we learn in the study guides
      • https://chaiandconversation.com/courses/read-write-persian

        • Learn to Read and Write Persian

        • Our program offers a completely unique method of learning to read and write in the Persian language. Over the course of 30 fun and engaging video lessons, Leyla begins by teaching you the vowel system in Persian writing, and then moves on to the individual letters and how to put it all together. The PDF Guides that are included with each lesson provide lots of guidance and practical writing exercises as well.

          This course was developed by Leyla’s mother, Farzaneh Nouri, over the span of 30 years of teaching the Persian language in Dallas, Texas.

          If reading and writing in Persian has seemed intimidating before, we eliminate all that with this course!

      • https://chaiandconversation.com/courses/persian-poetry

        • Learn Persian Through Poetry

        • If you know anything about Iranian culture, you know that poetry is held in the utmost esteem- in fact, you can argue that knowing poetry is as important as knowing conversational Persian! For this reason, we created the poetry course, designed to teach you the Persian language through classical and modern Persian poetry.

          In the introductory lesson of each poem, Leyla and a guest discuss the poet and the historical context in which the poem was written. They also delve into the symbolism and meaning behind the poem. In subsequent lessons, Leyla covers the specific words and phrases of each poem, and how they can be applied to modern conversational Persian as well.

          Please note: No previous knowledge of the Persian language required to take the poetry course- in fact, they’re designed to help you take your knowledge of the Persian language to the next level, no matter where you are today!
