The free Tehran Starter
A free four-week guided course for complete beginners. Learn alongside a group of other new learners, on a set timetable, with a live session every week. No card needed.
Four weeks, four goals
About 20 minutes a day, plus one live group session a week. By the end you'll hold a short conversation in Persian and read simple words.
Greetings
Hello, how are you, introductions and goodbyes, informally and politely.
Out and about
Numbers, prices, taxis and buying things at the market.
The alphabet
How the script works and your first fifteen letters.
Your first conversation
Put it all together in a live conversation with a tutor and your group.
Learn with a group
You start on the same day as everyone else and move through the lessons together, with a members' discussion space for questions.
Weekly live session
Every week a native-speaker tutor runs a live online session for the group: practice, questions and plenty of speaking.
What happens after?
Keep going with any membership and your progress carries over. Starter graduates get 30% off their first three months.
Save your place
Places in each group are limited so the live sessions stay small. Join the list and we'll email you joining instructions a week before the start date.
