Jewel of the Persian Diaspora
This podcast and the associated learning platform are by far the best options out there to acquaint oneself with the ancient and rich Persian culture—its language, its traditions, its poetry and also to discover the wealth of Persian contributions not only within the Persian diaspora but world wide.
Great tool for learning Farsi
My fiancé tells everyone he taught me all the a Persian I know. It was actually this podcast 😂😂🤭🤭 I like following the podcast with the lesson guide on the website!
Best way to learn spoken Persian!
This podcast is the absolute best and easiest way to learn Persian! Leyla Shams is the host and does a fantastic job explaining the slight nuances of spoken Persian in every podcast. The dialogues between her and her co-host Matt are fun and enjoyable and are easy to listen to while driving around in the car. After having completed about 2 units on my own via this podcast, I recently completed the bootcamp through their website and have learned to read and write the script. My Persian friends have all been really impressed and I can’t thank Leyla and her team enough for making such an effective program!
