“His method has made me a far more confident speaker. Between the in-lesson exercises and voice-note homework, I’ve spoken more Farsi in two months than I did in nine months with other tutors. He’s patient when I get frustrated, and very funny with his memory tricks.”

“I went from knowing ‘hello’ and ‘good’ to communicating full thoughts to my Persian family — and pronouncing them like a native speaker. One month, two lessons a week. I didn’t think it was possible this fast.”

First, the letters.

Everything else in the school stands on these thirty two shapes. They are friendlier than they look.

the threshold · در

Every Iranian learned to read behind a door like this one.

scroll · push the door

Dad gave water. Three small words, and you just read your first Persian sentence.

This is a whole school for Persian. Graded readers, films with honest subtitles, songs, games, a living dictionary, an app on the way. The things the internet never had.

بفرمایید توcome on in
نترس · do not be scared

Right now, Persian looks like this.

A river of hooks and dots, flowing the other way. Every learner stands on this bank on day one. The secret: the whole river is only thirty two letters.

keep scrolling · we sort it
first, you read it · الفبا

Thirty two letters. Four shapes each. One afternoon to say them all.

No account. Nothing to install. Just tap one: it says its name and hands you a first word.

its name is kheخانه khâne · home

one letter, four costumes · it just holds hands with its neighbours

Your keyboard already speaks Persian. It just doesn't know yet.

Grammar is Lego, not law.

Three pieces click together and you have said something true. Then flip the register: the same word, the way Tehran actually says it. That flip is the whole thesis of this school.

the words wing · 1 of 3 · واژه‌ها

You do not need 50,000 words. You need the right 300 first.

Persian is merciful: a few hundred words carry most of every conversation. Tap a tier and watch a real sentence come into focus, word by word, in the order you would actually learn them.

Conversations that answer back.

A pocket conversation partner. Pick a scene: it speaks, waits, and hands you your line. The studio in miniature.

Pick a scene. The other side speaks first, then it waits for you.

Browser voice for now. In the studio, it listens back.

At dusk the country turns its voices on.

One language, thirty two voices; eight lamps are lit here, the rest live on the Sound Map. Tap one: hear hello in that city. The gold one is where your teacher grew up.

the culture house · خانه

Culture is not a museum here. It is a house with the lights on.

Four rooms, four rituals: a film on the TV, a song on the turntable, a host who insists, a poet on the shelf. Lean into any room; the rest of the house goes quiet.

how Iran actually says it

Open any textbook and you learn the line on top. Neat, formal, correct, and no one you meet will say it that way.

Step into any real conversation and you hear the line below. Same meaning, softened and shortened, alive.

Teaching that gap plainly, from Milano, one student at a time, in the Persian people actually use, is the whole reason this school exists. See the method →

the school act · قفسه

Pull one off the shelf. The whole school is already bound.

Seven volumes, a deck of cards, and one egg still warm. Slide your hand along; whatever you touch leans out to meet you.

the school act · اپلیکیشن

The whole school, folded into your pocket.

Every room you just walked, rebuilt for five minutes on the bus. Still in the workshop; the waitlist opens the first beta.
