"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."
Starting September 28, 2026
The Free 6-Week Learn Persian Fall Bootcamp
Six weeks, completely free. It's your free trial, and everyone gets one. Conversation, reading and writing, a Rumi poem by heart, and live practice with learners around the world. We start Monday, September 28.
Meet Persian Learners
Don't study in isolation. Connect with a squad of learners who share your goals, celebrate your wins, and keep you accountable.
Live & Interactive
Weekly live Zoom sessions that feel like hanging out with friends. Get real-time feedback, practice speaking, and ask questions directly.
Poetry & Culture
Go beyond grammar. This fall we learn Rumi's rooz ō shab by heart, line by line, and use it as a doorway into Persian music, food, and the stories behind the words.
A two-minute welcome from Leyla
How the six weeks work, what the live sessions are really like, and why starting is the part that matters.
Frequently asked questions
A free 6-week guided program: conversational Persian, reading and writing, a Rumi poem, and live practice with learners around the world. It all lives in one place, your Bootcamp Home on our website. One login, one bookmark.
Nothing. The bootcamp runs on a free All Access LIVE trial, and everyone gets one. It's free until Monday, November 23, our closing ceremony. If you've been a member before, your trial is behind you and you join at the bootcamp rate, 25% off LIVE.
Because the bootcamp is a full membership, not a sample, and opening one needs a card on file. Nothing is charged today and nothing is charged before November 23. I'll email you before anything changes, and cancelling is one click on your account page. No phone call, no hard feelings.
The bootcamp closes with our ceremony that night, and your free trial ends with it. Stay on and membership continues at $39/month; every graduate is offered 25% off, for as long as they stay. Cancel before then and you're never charged.
Complete beginners, heritage speakers reconnecting, and everyone in between. There's a track for each level.
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."
