Learn Persian with
Chai and Conversation.

"It's the best and most affordable resource I've ever encountered — and I've been learning languages for decades and know about a dozen. A supportive community, the materials and opportunities to use what you learn right away, and everything a language learner needs and more, for so little."

"I loved the diversity of the classes. To me it was like going to Iranian school with several subjects. I absolutely adore the cultural section — something you rarely see in language classes."

"I memorized my first poem in fifteen years, improved my reading, and practiced speaking. It's fun, well organized, and you actually learn."

"Learning Persian poetry and sayings that have no English comparison helped me finally understand some things about why my father is who he is. It just didn't click before."

"I was able to speak Persian — much more than I thought I could — on the phone with my 95-year-old Amé joon. We plan to speak regularly now. Such a gift!"

"I love the international community. Politicians are trying to divide us, but Chai and Conversation shows how alike we are."

"As someone with Iranian roots who has never been able to travel to Iran despite it being a deep personal longing, this space gives me a way to reconnect with our culture — and hope that one day I truly can."
