We begin with a free one-hour trial lesson and informal level assessment. Based on your current Persian language skills, learning goals, and previous experience, we recommend the course and learning program that best fits your needs.
Need-Based Learning means your lessons are designed around your learning objectives rather than following the same pace and content for every student. Whether your goal is daily conversation, communicating with family, reading Persian books, travelling, or improving your writing skills, your tutor adapts the lessons while following our structured, research-based curriculum.
The Basic Persian (Farsi) Speaking Course helps beginners develop practical communication skills through 16 essential everyday topics.

Our courses combine three key principles:
- Need-Based Learning that aligns lessons with each learner’s goals.
- A structured curriculum with clear learning outcomes at every level.
- A research-based curriculum design developed through educational research and decades of teaching experience.
Together with personalized one-to-one instruction, these principles help adult learners build practical Persian language skills with confidence.
We teach Standard Persian (Farsi), which is the official language of Iran and the variety most widely used in education, literature, media, and formal communication. Students also become familiar with common everyday expressions used by native speakers when appropriate.
After completing the Advanced course, you will have developed the confidence to communicate about a wide range of topics, read authentic Persian texts, write well-organized compositions, and discuss Persian history, culture, traditions, and contemporary life. Many learners continue studying with personalized lessons focused on their individual interests, such as literature, conversation, business Persian, or academic Persian.
