Farsi Plateau

What it actually is

Made for learners stuck between textbook Farsi and native media, with more than eighty free episodes and a third season built around Iranian cinema — one film per episode, discussing symbolism and comparing it with other films and literature. Publishing weekly through 2026. The production is deliberately homemade and there are no transcripts, and the cinema season assumes you will watch the films alongside it, which is either the appeal or the obstacle depending on your patience.
