Learn Persian the way it's actually spoken.
A proper course that takes you from your first letter to following real conversations, lectures, and media in Persian.
Persian, taught seriously.
Zaban is for the English-speaking Muslim world. It exists because most ways of learning Persian are either too academic, too touristy, or stop at hello.
The aim is to take you from your first letter to the point where you can sit with a Persian lecture, conversation, or piece of media and actually follow it.
Three stages. One clear path.
Built around how the language actually works, with native speakers who know where English learners tend to get stuck.
Learn the script first
Persian has its own alphabet. We walk you through every letter — how it looks, how it sounds, and how the shapes change when letters join. It takes less time than you'd expect.
Learn from real Persian
Every word and phrase comes from how the language is actually used. Tap any word to hear it broken down, letter by letter, with audio.
Get to the point you can follow it
Grammar, conversation, and listening practice — structured so you reach the point where Persian speech makes sense without stopping to translate.
A focused start. A much bigger finish.
The beta covers the core material across each level — enough to get you reading, speaking, and understanding real Persian. The full release goes considerably deeper: more vocabulary, more grammar, more listening.
Script and sounds
The 32 letters of the Persian alphabet, how they connect, and how to read confidently from day one.
Everyday Persian
Greetings, numbers, family, food, directions. The bones of real conversation, the kind you would actually have.
Grammar and nuance
Verb structures, ezafe, formal versus colloquial speech, and the patterns that unlock natural Persian.
Listening and fluency
Real conversation, media, lectures, poetry. The point at which you stop translating in your head.
The beta curriculum covers the foundations of each level. The full release will go considerably deeper — more vocabulary, extended grammar, listening exercises, and cultural context built in throughout.
Proper depth. Worth sticking with.
Most language apps optimise for streaks. Zaban optimises for fluency.
Persian as it's actually used
How people really speak across Iran, from Tehran to Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashhad and beyond. Not airport phrasebook Persian.
Grammar taught, not buried
Ezafe, verb endings, word order. Explained clearly upfront so the rest of the language makes sense.
Built for listening
So you can pick up a Persian conversation, lecture, or piece of media and follow what is being said.
