My father-in-law is Iranian. He didn't teach his sons Persian, but now he is married to an Iranian woman and they speak it all the time. I want to understand what is being said at all the dinner parties! My husband and I tried Rosetta Stone but were not impressed. Your podcasts have been great!

Your podcasts and bonus materials have helped me so much and I am only on Unit 2! I finally feel like I can begin speaking this language and understanding it instead of just crying and feeling like I am never going to learn. I had been trying with Rosetta Stone before I found you guys and it was frustrating because Rosetta Stone is mostly written Persian which is why I still couldn't understand what was being said when his family would talk. Please don't stop making these lessons because they are helping me a lot!

I have taken Farsi lessons over the years, and tried Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur. With each program or class, I learn a bit more, and at this point I know enough to "get by" when we are in Iran, or when my in-laws visit. I can even read and write a little. I stumbled across "Chai and Conversation," while looking online for books for my kids. I think it is great - very helpful. Thank you for this wonderful resource!
