The Issue

Persian, an Indo-European language with rich historical significance, is uniquely captivating with its expressive and poetic nature. It's spoken by over 110 MILLION people worldwide, mainly in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. I find its distinct script and melodious phonetics fascinating and believe learning Persian unlocks doors to centuries-old literature, culture, and art treasures.

Sadly, as someone passionate about Persian, I struggle to find accessible resources. While there are tools for languages like Spanish or French, Persian learners often feel neglected. Duolingo, a popular, free language-learning app, offers courses in over 38 languages, including less commonly spoken ones like Navajo and Welsh. even fake ones like High Valyrian Yet, Persian remains absent.

Developing a Persian course on Duolingo would cater to millions eager to explore this incredible language and its cultural heritage. It's an opportunity for linguistic growth that deserves attention. With support from other language enthusiasts and Persian speakers, we can encourage Duolingo to embrace this and broaden our global linguistic landscape.

Join me in urging Duolingo to create a Persian language course, making this beautiful language more accessible worldwide. Each signature brings us closer to bridging cultural gaps and fostering understanding through language. Please sign and help us create this vital learning resource.
