Persian Culture & Traditions

I use the Narges Mohammadi graveyard incident to teach you 15 Persian words about justice, protest, and political tension in modern Iran.

I cover Tehran air pollution vocabulary and survival tips so you can talk about smog, school closures, and grey days like a real Tehrani.

I tell the story of Bahram Beyzaie, the legendary Iranian filmmaker who shaped Persian cinema and died far from the country he transformed.

I dig into the Tehrangeles connection between LA and Tehran, covering the diaspora culture, language shifts, and identity that link both cities.

I explore how Iranian cafe culture became a battleground and teach you the Persian vocabulary around coffee, protest, and social resistance.
