Is Easy Persian Free and Do I Need to Register?
Updated
Yes. Easy Persian (easypersian.com) states that it offers free lessons in Persian or Farsi as spoken in Iran, and the site explicitly says there is no need to register or sign up. You can click a lesson and start learning immediately.
What the site says about cost and access
The homepage makes two direct claims:
- Free lessons: "Easy Persian offers free lessons in Persian or Farsi as spoken in Iran. There are hundreds of free lessons on Easy Persian."
- No account required: "There is no need to register or sign-up. Just click a lesson and start learning."
So for the lessons described on the homepage, access is open — no sign-up wall, no stated fee.
What the site does not say
The page contains no pricing information, no payment links, and no mention of paid tiers, subscriptions, or premium content. That means:
- There is no evidence on the page of a paid plan.
- There is also no explicit statement that everything on the site is free forever — the "free lessons" language describes the lessons, and no pricing terms are published.
If you need certainty about a specific feature (for example, downloadable materials or anything beyond the lesson pages), check that page directly, since the homepage doesn't address it.
How to start without registering
- Go to easypersian.com.
- Pick a lesson from the list — the first is Persian Lesson 1: The Alphabet, Short Vowels, Letters B, P & T.
- Click it and begin. No form, email, or login step is described.
What the lessons cover
The lesson sequence on the homepage is alphabet-focused at the start:
| Lesson | Topic |
|---|---|
| Lesson 1 | The Alphabet, Short Vowels, Letters B, P & T |
| Lesson 2 | The Alphabet, Long Vowels |
| Lesson 3 | Letters from /alef/ to /he/ |
| Lesson 4 | Letters /khe/ to /ze/ |
| Lesson 5 | Letters /zhe/ to /za:d/ |
| Lesson 6 | Letters /ta:/ to /ghæin/ |
| Lesson 7 | Letters /fe/ to /ga:f/ |
Beyond the numbered lessons, the site points to three supporting areas:
- Writing Lessons — recommended if you want to learn to write in Persian, using the same letters studied that week.
- Useful Drills — practice reading and writing Farsi; the site suggests you should at least be able to recognize the week's letters first.
- Persian Samples — Persian poetry in a bilingual format to support understanding.
Bottom line
If your question is "do I have to pay or create an account to try Easy Persian?" — the site's own answer is no on both counts. Start with Lesson 1 and work through the alphabet sequence; add the Writing Lessons and Useful Drills pages once you can recognize the letters.
