Thirty lessons from hello to a real conversation.

Each lesson ends with something you can do. You have tea with Sara, order at Ali’s café, shop at the bazaar, ask the way, take a taxi and go to dinner at Farideh’s. The same people come back as your Persian grows.

  1. Lesson1I can greet someone.
  2. Lesson2I can say my name and ask someone theirs.
  3. Lesson4I can ask someone to repeat, slow down, or explain a word.
  4. Lesson10I can say what food I like and don’t like.
  5. Lesson30I can talk with a friend about myself, my plans and my learning.

More lessons will be added over time.

Inside a lesson

You hear a phrase before you are asked to do anything with it. Then you say it, use it, and finish with the conversation you just had.

  1. Lesson intro for Say hello, and reply, stating what you will be able to do by the end.

    Know where you’re going

    Every lesson opens with the scene and what you’ll be able to do by the end.

  2. A Listen and repeat exercise with one large play button.

    Listen and repeat

    Hear the phrase, then say it out loud in your own time.

  3. A listening question asking which phrase you heard, with three English answers.

    Train your ear

    Short questions check that you caught what was said.

  4. Lesson 1 complete, showing what you can do now and the conversation you just had.

    See what you can do now

    Finish with a new ability and play back the conversation you just had.

    Your progress

    Measured in what you can say, written out in plain sentences.

Built for people who want to talk.

Speaking comes first
You learn what a phrase means and how to say it. The Persian script joins in along the way and is always a tap away.
Practise without being graded
Record yourself, play it back and try again. Your speaking is never given a score.
On a quiet train?
Tap “I can’t speak now” or “I can’t listen now” and carry on. It lasts for that session, and every exercise can be skipped.
Manners, too
Cultural notes explain the everyday courtesies that a phrasebook leaves out.
Phrases come back in time
Review brings back what you’ve learned as you start to lose it.
Works offline, no account
The whole course lives on your phone, audio included. Open it and start.

What we think you should know

Your voice stays with you

The microphone is used only while you practise speaking. A recording is deleted when you move on, and it is never uploaded. Your progress stays on your phone.

The voices are AI-generated

You will hear AI voices in the app, and the app tells you so. We say that plainly because how a language sounds matters.

Your journey, one conversation at a time.
