A spoken-Iranian-Persian course for English speakers, built around colloquial Tehran speech rather than the alphabet.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The course structures every unit as a three-part sequence: animated dialogue, speak-along response practice, and a short PDF containing phrases, grammar, cultural context, and exercises. The homepage marks Lessons 1–21 as live and recommends roughly 40 minutes of study three times weekly. Its curriculum postpones the alphabet, contrasting written “mikhâham beravam” with the spoken Tehran form “mikhâm beram,” then promises an eight-lesson reading module built from vocabulary learners already know.
