Issue N°1 · Colloquial Farsi فارسی که ایرانی‌ها واقعاً حرف می‌زنند

Speak real Persian.
not textbook Farsi.

Short, conversation-first lessons that teach how Iranians actually speak — complete with tarof, real pronunciation, and the cultural nuance no textbook bothers to explain.

Get it on iPhone How it works

I. A manifesto — شماره یک

The Farsi no app teaches.

Every other Persian app teaches formal, written Farsi — the kind nobody actually speaks. This one teaches what people really say in Tehran, over dinner, at a shop, on the phone with family.

01 — Voice

Colloquial first, written second.

Romanised phonetics lead so you can speak instantly. Persian script follows, so you can read it when you're ready.

02 — Culture

Tarof, explained without the mystery.

The art of Persian politeness is in every lesson — how to offer, how to refuse, how to accept. The nuance you'd only learn at a dinner table.

03 — Sound

Every phrase, spoken by real Iranians.

Not synthesised, not textbook. Listen, tap, repeat — until the rhythm of the language lives in your head.

Built for English speakers with Persian-speaking partners, family, or friends — the ones who got tired of sounding like a 19th-century court poet.

برای کسانی که می‌خواهند طبیعی فارسی حرف بزنند.

II. How a lesson unfolds — شماره دو

Four minutes, one conversation.

Lessons are short on purpose. You listen, repeat, assemble, and earn it — then Leo remembers to bring you back tomorrow.

Listen

Hear the phrase at natural speed, then slowed. Both are equally important.

ii.

Match

Pair audio with meaning, then pair meaning with script. Gentle, not punishing.

iii.

Assemble

Word blocks and pick-a-word questions that build real sentences, not vocab flashcards.

iv.

Return

Optional gentle reminders from Leo. Skip a day without guilt — your streak still waits.

III. Inside the app — شماره سه

Eight screens, one philosophy.

Conversation-based questions, matching pairs, culture notes from Leo the lion, three difficulty tiers. Everything designed to sound like something you'd actually say.
