Where is right conduct, and where am I, a ruin? See how far the road runs — from where to where!
Hafez
Read it in fullYou don't need to be fluent. You need the right sentence at the right moment, and to know what not to say. Daenaly starts there, and explains the culture in place, because nobody should have to guess what taarof is.
Many famous Rumi quotes cannot be found in his Persian. Daenaly starts from the Persian text itself, checks it against Ganjoor, and walks you through the meaning one line at a time.
No plan to be fluent by spring. Just one real thing a day, until Persian is part of yours.
One real phrase you can say tonight, with its sound, its transliteration and the moment to use it.
One poem or verse, read line by line, and linked to the page it came from.
Short lessons that build a streak, so Persian becomes part of your day instead of a plan for someday.

A line that cannot be traced to its poet's Persian text does not get published. Each poem in Daenaly links to the page it was matched against on Ganjoor, the public library of classical Persian poetry.
6 poems open to everyone are verified today. Each one is matched against its source and reviewed by a person before it is published. The library is small and growing, and we add only what we can verify.
Here is how a verse earns its checkmark. This is a replay of the check we ran on a real poem.
Poet: Rumi
If a verse does not match, it does not ship.
Persian poetry was written from Anatolia to Central Asia. These are the cities where its poets were born or lived, shown with today's borders and today's countries.

Daenaly works with Persian departments, language schools and cultural institutes that want to share lessons or articles with learners around the world. It is a content partnership. We are not a learning-management system.
No. Level 0 starts with the sounds and letters, and every phrase comes with transliteration and an explanation in English or Arabic. You will not be asked to read a script you have not been taught.
You can start free with no card. Levels 0 and 1, short audio and a fifth of every Explore topic (the family phrases included) stay free. The full plan is free for 7 days with no card. Paid plans are not on sale yet.
The Persian of each poem is matched against Ganjoor, a public library of classical Persian poetry, and the poem links to that source page. A verse we cannot match does not get published. The library is small and growing; we would rather have fewer poems than invented ones.
Simorgh is the AI guide in Daenaly. It knows which lessons you have done and can explain a phrase or a verse. It is an AI, so it can make mistakes, and the number of daily messages is limited on the free plan.
The Persian spoken in Iran, in its everyday spoken form and the standard written form. The poetry spans the whole Persian-speaking world, from Anatolia to Central Asia.
Not yet. Daenaly works in your browser on a phone or a computer, and you can add it to your home screen.
We cannot promise that. We give you a clear path and a five-minute daily habit, and what you do with it is up to you. One goal, like meeting a partner's family, is enough to begin.
