"I talked to my husband's family (who only speaks Farsi) yesterday and was using all the language I've learned in these 6 weeks — and they were so happy and impressed. It makes me feel even more motivated."

From 'Zero' to Speaking Persian in 6 Weeks.
Since 2010, we've helped thousands of students learn the Persian language, many of whom had tried so many different resources before finding us. Check out the feedback below from learners who started where you are now.
"It exceeded my expectations entirely — user friendly, organized, and approachable. I really got a sense of community. Learning a new language can feel like a solo journey, but it never seems lonely or daunting here. A hand is always there."
"I started small conversations with friends and strangers! The other day I started speaking with an uncle and he was so impressed — we laughed and joked around. I also went to a Persian popup bazaar and tried my best to communicate in Persian, and they were so happy!"
"I memorized a poem and it really helped my forward progress. I've been able to read and recognize Persian script outside of lessons — Persian looks unbelievably complex if you have no experience with it. I was also able to write my boyfriend's name in his native language, which was special."
"I've tried to learn on my own for years and failed because I didn't know where to start. I love that this is broken down into small bits. Anyone on the fence should join — you can tell Leyla and the team really want everyone to learn."
"I was an absolute beginner before the bootcamp. Now I can greet people, count, and introduce my family. Most interestingly, I can relate to Persian culture now as a Japanese person — the honorifics, the ta'arof around chai and meals — these are so similar to ours. I love it."
"I never expected the community to be so engaging and helpful. The instructors are all super friendly and open-minded. I truly feel I've found a family in Chai and Conversation."
